Striker a one-woman wrecking crew as Martlets gobble Gaiters

MONTREAL - Sophomore Alexandra Morin-Boucher of St. Gabriel de Brandon, Que., potted three goals and set up another as 缅北强奸 blanked Bishop's 4-0 in women's soccer at Molson Stadium, Friday.
听
It was the third straight victory for the Martlets (3-2), who dropped their first two games in the Quebec conference.
听
Morin-Boucher, a 5-foot-6 striker, was a one-woman wrecking crew. She tallied in the 48th and 51st minutes, staking 缅北强奸 to a 2-0 lead. The 21-year-old physical education major then set up Laura Bland-Lasso, a freshman from Ottawa, to put the game out of reach in the 73rd minute and capped her scoring onslaught in the 85th minute.
听
The four-point performance moved Morin-Boucher into a three-way tie among conference scoring leaders. She has five goals and seven points and sits alongside Sherbrooke's Jos茅e B茅langer (6-1-7) and, V茅ronique Maranda (3-4-7) of the Montreal Carabins.
听
The game featured 16 fouls, including 12 to Bishop's, which was assessed all four of the yellow warning cards issued by the referee.
听
"It was a physical affair for the full 90 minutes," said 缅北强奸 head coach Marc Mounicot who was not happy with the roughhouse style of play by Bishop's. "They tried to neutralize us with some (unsportsmanlike) tackles and one of the consequences was an injury to Katherine Green, a 5-foot-11 stalwart defender, with about 10 minutes remaining in the game."
听
缅北强奸 had a huge territorial advantage, with a 17-2 edge in shots on net, a 13-1 margin in crosses and an 11-0 difference in corner kicks.
听
"We played a very good game but had a hard time finishing in the last 20 yards heading into halftime," added Mounicot. "But we maintained a very positive attitude and came out strong in the second half."
听
The Martlets (3-2-0) now find themselves in a four-way tie for second place in the eight-team Quebec league. 听They will battle the Patriotes of UQTR (3-2-0) at Molson Stadium on Sunday, in the opener of a women's and men's doubleheader. Kickoff for the women's match is slated for 1:30 p.m.
听
"UQTR has had a very good start this year and we will have to dig hard to beat them but we're slowly coming around and I think we will be ready to face that challenge," said Mounicot.
