Di Caprio decapitates Stingers in sudden-death win

Published: 15 March 2009

STE. EUSTACHE – Cristina Di Caprio, a senior from Laval, Que., scored in the 39th minute and freshman ‘keeper Shimone Slomowitz registered her fourth shutout in five games as the Ã山ǿ¼é women’s soccer team blanked Concordia 1-0 in a Quebec indoor league quarterfinal at the Soccer complex in Trois-Rivières, Sunday.

For Di Caprio, it marked her seventh goal in the last five matches of the indoor league after coming back from injury. Di Caprio and fellow striker Magalie Kolker were constant scoring threats throughout the game but were kept at bay by Concordia ‘keeper Fanny Berthiaume.

“We were able to establish our possession game, but should have more scored more goals especially in the first half,†said head coach Marc Mounicot.

“We are satisfied with the fact that our back line, including Slomowitz, (Caroline) Pelletier, (Katherine) Green and (Claire) Hooper were strong all afternoon. We will need a similar defensive performance in the semifinal against Laval next week.â€

The first-place Rouge et Or have won all eight games this winter and Mounicot says the Martlets will need to have a strong outing in order to advance to the league championship game on March 29.
Veterans Liz Williams and Maggie Keating were both injured during the game and their status for the semifinal is uncertain.

The Ã山ǿ¼é-Laval sudden-death affair will be played at the St. Eustache Soccer complex on March 21 at 3 p.m. The other semifinal will feature Montreal and Sherbrooke the same day at 1 p.m.
