WSOC Recap | Sept. 16, 2018 vs TRU
A second-half offensive explosion got Mount Royal's their first three points on their home ground as a four-goal second half secured them a 4-1 win against Thompson Rivers WolfPack. Cougar coach Tino Fusco commented "We're happy to get the three points," after his team's bounce-back performance. We wanted the ball more this game, we got away from that in the first game. We held more possession." Both teams started the game jabbing at one another before an array of events capped off a scoreless first half which saw the Cougars have a goal taken back due to an offside minutes before injury time. TRU's best moment of the first half came from a set piece on the edge of the MRU box in which rookie goalkeeper Rose Hemans bailed out her disoriented defence. After the initial ball, a scramble ensued and WolfPack player Marisa Mendonca was stuffed on the near post by Hemans. Shortly after, the WolfPack back-line were caught too far up the field, leading to an over-the-head lob being distributed by the Cougar midfield. Three Cougar players marched up the field but slowed their footing inside the WolfPack box. A late ball played by Erin Holt was tapped in by Haley Nicholson but the linesman waved her flag immediately, putting a halt to any celebration. Much like in their match Saturday afternoon, the Cougars started the second half like a house on fire and eventually broke down a shaky WolfPack defence. TRU faced misfortune as Camryn Curts rattled the crossbar from distance which ended up turning the tide of the game for MRU. Nicholson whipped home a free-kick in the back netting at the 68th-minute mark for her first goal of the season after WolfPack keeper Danielle Robertson couldn't tip the curled shot over her net. The Cougar onslaught began there as three more goals were buried in a span of 10 minutes. Holt's curler from the edge of the box and rookie Robyn MacDonald's first two-goal U SPORTS game secured the Cougars a 4-1 win after a consolation goal of a spot-kick was put away by WolfPack forward Mendonca in the 80th minute. "She's been great for us all year and we look for players like that to step up," Said Fusco on the performance of MacDonald. The WolfPack visit the Vikes in Victoria and then UBC next weekend while MRU are set to travel to Saskatchewan for a weekend set against Regina and the Huskies.
MSOC Recap | Sept. 15, 2018 vs UFV
On a chilly Saturday, the Mount Royal Cougars and Fraser Valley Cascades gathered to face off. Trudging through wet grass, the Cascades enjoyed an emphatic 3-0 victory. Cougars forward Jake Vickers thought the team's slow start cost them. "Today the Cascades came out quickly with an early goal and left us behind trying to catch up," Vickers said, "next time we'll have to be ready to go from the start." The Cascades kicked off the first 5 minutes of the game with an immediate goal against the Cougars, which was the first of three scored by Gurmaan Jhaj. Several other shots were aimed at the Cougars net, but the ball only danced around the net. A little later on a penalty kick was given to the Cascades but Cougars' goalkeeper Kyran Valley made the save. The Cascades dominated the first portion of the game, with the majority of the action meters away from the Cougars net. As the game progressed the Cougars seemed to find their bearings, and the game started to travel freely from end to end. The Cougars efforts culminated with a great shot on the Cascades net which was met with a great save. Tensions in the first half then erupted with a fight which had to be separated by the referees after a Cascades player was stamped on. Frustrations continued to grow and it seemed the yelling on the field grew louder than the whistles. Another goal for the Cascades was scored by Jhaj and despite the Cougars great effort, the Cascades goalkeeper refused to let a ball past the line. The half finished 2-0 in favour of the visitors. The two teams seemed evenly matched during the second half, though shots remained majorly aimed at the Cougars net, until a penalty kick was again awarded to the Cascades. Jhaj tucked it in, earning himself a hat-trick and bringing the score to 3-0. The Booster Juice Players of the game were Gurmaan Jhaj from the Cascades and Daniel Harrison from the Cougars. The Cascades head north to play the University of Alberta tomorrow at 2:15 PM. While the next game for the Cougars is back at home tomorrow at 1:30 PM against the UBCO Heat.
