WSOC | Voyageurs Fall to Queen's

The Laurentian Voyageurs women's soccer team wrapped up their weekend in Kingston as they took on the Queen's Gaels on Sunday afternoon.  Despite a solid team effort, the team couldn't find the break through they needed, falling 2-0 to the Gaels.

The Voyageurs went into the game a defensive mindset, knowing their best chance at victory with a skilled Gaels team was to lock down their end first and foremost.  It was a strategy that worked well until the 43rd minute of the game when Queen's Tara Bertram who found herself the recipient of a fortuitous bounce off of a cross and slide the ball home for the 1-0 lead.

The second half saw the Voyageurs press a little more, needing to find the tying goal.  Despite a few chances off set pieces, Queen's Jenny Wolever added an insurance marker in the 85th minute to seal the game.

Despite being outshot 10-1, coach Gallo was happy with hus team effort, saying, "The girls were well organized and played a very entertaining game today.  Our structure and discipline was very good."

The Voyageurs move to 2-2 on the season and return home to face their northern rival, the Nipissing Lakers, next Sunday, Sept. 11th with a 12pm kickoff.
