Queen's soccer teams sweep doubleheader at Trent
Posted: September 8th, 2013 @ 8:04pm
Queen's Golden Gaels remain undefeated after a win and a tie on the road this weekend in Ontario University Athletics women's soccer play.
The No. 2-ranked Gaels defeated the Trent Excalibur 3-1 Sunday in Peterborough. Saturday, Queen's and the No. 4-ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees played to a scoreless draw in Ottawa.
Savannah Myer-Clement scored the only goal of the first half for Queen's Sunday in the game's 22nd minute. Breanna Burton scored twice in the second half, in the 52nd minute and again 10 minutes later, while Kelsey White, a third-year biology student from Kingston, completed scoring with a goal for Trent.
It was the first goal surrendered in four games this year by the Gaels, who share first place in the East division with Ottawa at 3-0-1.
Saturday in Ottawa, Madison Tyrell posted her third straight shutout, turning aside 10 shots from the defending conference champion Gee-Gees. Ottawa goalkeeper Cynthia Leblanc handled all seven Queen's shots flawlessly.
The Gaels resume play Saturday in Sudbury against Laurentian.
It took the Queen's men just six minutes to find the back of the net Sunday afternoon and they went on to defeat Trent 2-0. It was the first win of the young season for the No. 7-ranked Gaels, 1-1, who travel north next weekend for games at Laurentian and Nipissing.
Tommy Hong beat his man down the wing and sent the ball into the box, where Kingston's Andrew Martin, a second-year economics student from Frontenac Secondary School, scored Queen's first goal from six yards out.
Thanks to some sparkling goalkeeping by Dylan Maxwell of Queen's, the score remained that way until the game's 75th minute, when William Twardek, who came off the bench in the second half, banked a shot off the goal post past Trent goalie David Ellis.
Maxwell finished the game with 10 saves.
