MSOC | Voyageurs Can't Keep Pace with Gaels

The men's soccer team hosted Queen's on Saturday afternoon to open up their weekend.  In a back and forth game that saw a total of 10 goals scored, it was the Voyageurs who found themselves on the wrong end of a 6-4 score line.

The Voyageurs opened the game applying constant pressure on the Gaels back line but, in the 10^th minute, against the run of play, it was the Gaels who struck first, scoring twice in a 30-second span to open up a 2-0 lead.  The Gaels would add one more in the 19^th minute before Giancarlo Galluzzo broke the ice for the Voyageurs in the 28^th minute, off a cross from Eddy Opoku-Dapaah, and scored again just eight minutes later, this time off a header from Timi Aliu, to pull them within one.

Goals two minutes on either side of half time pushed the Gaels lead back to three and a tally in the 59^th minute saw that grow to four.  In the 70^th minute, Opoku-Dapaah found himself on the receiving end of a well-placed though-ball from Jaiden Santo and fired it past the keeper to breathe some life back into the Voyageurs.  Unfortunately, they wouldn't score again until an Opoku-Dapaah penalty kick in extra time to close the book on a 6-4 score line.

Lucas Cidade made nine saves in the loss.

The team will look to bounce back tomorrow when they welcome the RMC Paladins to town at 2:15pm.
