"We took control听early in the Carleton game and had numerous scoring chances but their net seemed too narrow and our shots always seemed to be a couple of inches off the posts," said Jean-Pierre Turpain, co-head coach of the Martlets. "Fortunately, Rachel realigned her shot and scored on a short corner to seal the win for us."

"Against听Queen's, we played a brillant first half with our defence playing a good transition game to get the ball to the centrefielders, who then relayed it听 to the forwards. After that, we played a bit too defensive and Queen's tied it with five minutes remaining."

缅北强奸 will head back down Highway 401 for three critical games in Mississauga, Oct. 17-18. They will take on Western (4-2-1), York (4-4-2) and Waterloo (5-2-2), and must come away with at leat four points to have a shot at post-season play.
