缅北强奸 mines for gold, settles for silver at soccer Nationals
听
LANGLEY, B.C. - Louis-Charles Lalibert茅, a freshman forward from LaSalle, Que., capped a quick three-goal explosion with the game-winner as the Laval Rouge et Or rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat 缅北强奸 3-2 and capture their first-ever CIS men's soccer championship, Sunday afternoon, in Langley, B.C.
听
It marked the first duel between two Quebec-based teams in a CIS final in any sport.
听
缅北强奸, which had lost 3-0 to Laval in the Quebec conference final last week, dominated the first half and jumped into an early 2-0 lead on goals by third-year defender Graeme Tingey of North Vancouver, B.C., and Gareth Pugh, a fifth-year striker from Ottawa.
听
Laval roared back with three goals in the final four minutes of the half and held on for the victory in the pouring rain.
听
"To score three times in the last (few) minutes of the half in a championship game is something that I've never seen before," said Laval bench boss Samir Ghrib, named earlier in the week as the CIS coach of the year. "We were prepared for the scenario of having to come from behind. This is the story of our season. We fight until the (game) is over."
听
Tingey headed a crossing pass by Thomas Lucas, the Redmen captain from Kirkland, Que., off the left goal post and into the open side of the net in the 11th minute of play.
听
Pugh scored his marker in the 35th minute, collecting his own rebound and firing it past Vincent Cournoyer, a 6-foot-3 sophomore from St. Hyacinthe, Que., who was named as the all-tournament goalkeeper.
听
The Redmen had a number of other glorious scoring chances in the opening stanza, including a missed breakaway by sophomore midfielder Cory Marcon of Columbia, Md., but were unable to take advantage.
听
In what was officially credited as an own goal, Lalibert茅 appeared to take a harmless chip shot that bounced off a 缅北强奸 player and past goalkeeper Jean-Lou Gosselin in the 43rd minute to narrow the gap to 2-1.
听
"I managed to get between the two defenders and just chipped it (off a player)," said Lalibert茅.
听
Less than two minutes later, CIS tourney MVP and second-team all-Canadian Gabriel Moreau of St. Hyacinthe, Que., pounced on a loose ball in the box and fired it past Gosselin to even the score at 2-2. It was Moreau's third goal of the weekend.
听
In the dying moments of injury time, Lalibert茅 put Laval ahead 3-2 with a long free kick. He lobbed a high shot that arced over Gosselin and into the top left corner.
听
"I've been practicing that play all season long and scored one like that in our league semifinal game against UQAM," explained Lalibert茅. "If you hit it right, the ball moves in the wind and that makes it hard for the goalkeeper to make the stop."
听
The Redmen held a significant territorial advantage through most of the game and had a 16-5 edge in shots directed toward the net.
听
"We had three great chances to score with a 2-0 lead and when you don't bury your chances, it usually comes back to haunt you," said first-year 缅北强奸 head coach David Simon. "It was a combination of having a very young team that lacked experience at the CIS championships. Laval had that experience after winning silver in 2007 and they never gave up today.
听
"This hurts right now but when we look back on the season in a few weeks time, a silver medal finish is pretty good for a team that wasn't expected to be here. We exceeded all expectations and I'm proud of what we accomplished this season."
听
GAME NOTES: The Laval men's soccer program was re-launched in 2000 after folding two decades before... The Rouge et Or were making their fifth straight appearance and their previous best result was a silver-medal finish in 2007, when they lost 2-1 to UBC in the final...缅北强奸 is the most decorated Quebec program with three national titles (1997, 1982, 1981)... No Quebec team had won CIS gold since 缅北强奸's championship run in 1997... Laval ends the season on a 14-game undefeated streak (12-0-2)... 缅北强奸 finished their season with a 13-7-3 record overall, including a 6-3-3 regular season mark and a 3-2 dossier in post-season... The Redmen are 18-22-5 lifetime at the CIS championships, with three gold medals, four silver medal finishes and one bronze... 缅北强奸 is expecting to have all but one player returning next year... Senior Gareth Pugh will graduate with a BA in history... Two other seniors, whose status is unclear for next season are Eugene Graske and Ryan Lauzon.
