MSOC | Voyageurs Take All Three Points in 2-0 Victory
The Voyageurs Men's Soccer team opened up the final weekend of the regular season with a home match against the RMC Paladins. A sweep of the weekend's play could net the Voyageurs a 4th place finish. The Vee's took care of business in the weekend's first match with a 2-0 victory over the Paladins.
Laurentian's first goal came off a penalty kick by Matthew Wilkes, his eight goal of the season. Following a half in which the Vee's were largely in control, Aaron D'Souza netted a beauty in the dying minutes of the half.
The second half saw both teams unable to capitalize on their chances. The Paladins arguably had the better half, but the Voyageurs defenders did well to prevent RMC from getting on the scoreboard.
In other action, Queen's won their game over Nipissing today 6-2, meaning they stay ahead of the Voyageurs in the standings. Given the day's results, the Vee's will need all three points tomorrow against the Gaels in order to finish in fourth. The match is set to kickoff tomorrow at 2:15pm.
