CHARLOTTETOWN (CIS) – The Laval Rouge et Or, 2010 RESQ finalists, placed fifth over the Canada West finalists UBC Thunderbirds with a 2-1 victory (5-4 in penalty kicks) during the 2010 CIS Women's Soccer consolation final on Saturday night.
Mona-Lee Pinkos scored her third goal of the tournament in the 28th minute of the game to give Laval Rouge et Or a one goal lead. The remainder of the half was slow as it seemed both teams were showing some fatigue from their third game in as many days.
UBC picked up the pace in the second, being very aggressive and pushing the issue both attacking and defending. The pressure paid off for the Thunderbirds as
Natalie Hirayama scored in the 67th minute to tie it all up. Both teams played tight for the last part of the game, not wanting to make any mistakes
Teams moved into penalty kicks and Laval's goalie Audrey Létourneau (Saint-Nicolas) made no mistake on guessing which way UBC's
Lisa Furutani was going to shoot and made a great save. Each kicker after that made their shot for both teams.
The last kicker for Laval, Maude-Nancy Durette(Matane, Que) made her shot easily and turning, it seemed had not realized that they had just won until she faced her teammates running towards her in celebration.
