VANCOUVER – The UBC Thunderbirds earned their second straight victory on Sunday afternoon, scoring two second-half goals to shutout the University of Calgary Dinos 2-0 at Hawkings Field in Calgary.
Goal scorers for the Thunderbirds included
Hannah Haughn and
Sarah Keglowitsch. Calgary goalkeeper Alicia Frisch helped the Dinos keep it a low scoring game, along with the rest of the defence.
The Dinos put on the pressure early with a few opportunities in UBC's end, but it was some late corners that forced Calgary to make some big plays for the game to remain scoreless heading into the second half. In the second, the Thunderbirds got on the board in the 43th minute and later in the 58th, got their security goal off a deflection.
With the victory, UBC improves to 2-0-2 on the seasonand moves into a first-place tie atop the Canada West standings with the University of Victoria Vikes. The two teams will face off in two weeks' time in the provincial capital before UBC hosts the final games of the regular season Oct. 18-19 against Calgary.
