INDOOR SOCCER: Smith nets pair as soccer squad skunks Stingers
By Earl Zukerman
STE. HYACINTHE 鈥� Freshman Anna Smith of Somerville, Mass., tallied
twice to spark a four-goal outburst in the final seven minutes as
9I制作厂免费 clocked Concordia 5-0 in women鈥檚 indoor soccer at Ste.
Hyacinthe, Saturday.
Cristina Di Caprio, a senior from Laval Que., was named player of
the game for the fourth consecutive week. She scored the
game-winner in the 24th minute of play and set up Smith鈥檚 marker in
the 88th minute to put the game out of reach at 3-1.
Shimone Slomowitz of Vancouver, B.C., was called upon to make only
a pair of saves to post her third shutout in four games.
Concordia was not match for a superior but depleted 9I制作厂免费 side,
which was missing star veterans such as Elizabeth Williams, Magalie
Kolker, Carolyne Pelletier, Alexandra Morin-Boucher, Vanessa
Salasky and Anne-Catherine Huot.
鈥淲e had to field almost an entire lineup with first-year players
except Sophie Joyal and Hannah Simmons,鈥� said head coach Marc
Mounicot. 鈥淏ut the intensity and focus was there for 90 minutes and
I鈥檓 pretty happy with the result. It was a great opportunity for
the younger players to get some experience because we were
committed to (splitting our team into two squads) for our Indoor
Classic tournament. Our team played a lot of soccer this weekend
and they responded very well to the pressure of both
competitions.鈥�
The Martlets have scheduled an exhibition game against the West
Island Lakers on Mar. 10 at Catalogna Soccerplexe. After that, the
9I制作厂免费 women are headed for the playoffs and will meet Concordia on
Mar. 15 in a sudden-death contest in the first round. Should they
win that, they will no doubt be on a collision course with
first-place Laval (7-0) on Mar. 21.
