MONTREAL -- Gareth Pugh, a fifth-year striker from Ottawa, struck paydirt in the ninth minute of play as 缅北强奸 skunked the Concordia Stingers 2-0 in men's soccer action on a cold, damp soiree at Molson Stadium, Friday.
听
Pugh received a low cross in the slot from defender Stephen Keefe, a sophomore from Toronto, then turned and fired a bullet to the lower left side of Concordia goaltender Nicholas Giannone, who was credited with nine saves in the contest and was named by the 缅北强奸 coaching staff as the Stingers player of the game.

Pugh, who won similiar honours for the Redmen, then drew a penalty-kick in the 34th minute when he was pushed from behind as he was about to receive a crossing pass. Sami Obaid, a third-year medical student from Laval, Que., took the penalty shot and scored the insurance marke to the low right-hand side.
听
"We played well enough to win and while I wasn't really happy with our total effort, a win is a win," said Redmen head coach David Simon. "However, iImust single out Pugh, who was easily our best player out there."
听
"Keeper Jean-Luc Gosselin of Longueuil, Que., made two saves to record his third goose-egg of the QUSL season.
听
The result moved 缅北强奸 into sole possession of third-place in the seven-team QUSL with a 4-4-3 record. Two games remain before playoffs and the Redmen are two points in arrears of second-place Laval (5-2-2) but have fourth-place UQAM (3-1-5) breathing down their necks. The last-place Stingers dropped to 0-7-3.
