Box Score Lethbridge, AB -
Halle McCambley scored in the 43
rd minute to open the scoring against the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Tuesday afternoon, but an 80
th minute goal from Tory Clements meant that for the third consecutive game the University of the Fraser Valley women's soccer team was forced to settle for a draw after an early lead.
With the draw, the Cascades see their record move to 0-1-5, while Lethbridge moves to 0-4-2 on the season.
McCambley picked up her second goal in two games after poking home a looping ball into the box from
Sofia Faremo in the first half.
She continued to threaten the Pronghorn's goal in the second, but despite several dangerous chances was unable to force the ball past Lethbridge goalkeeper Bridie Harding.
The Pronghorns found their breakthrough in the 80
th minute, as Clements found herself with space to slot the ball into the Cascades net.
UFV pressed hard in the final 10 minutes of the match, but were unable to capitalize on five late corner kicks and find a winner.
"Collectively we're disappointed because I think we know we could have been better on the day," explained UFV head coach
Niko Marcina. "Our players are doing the right things at the start of games, we just have to be a bit more mentally mature to see out games."
The Cascades doubled the Pronghorn's shot total on the day, firing 22 shots toward the Lethbridge goal, led by McCambley with six and
Jenna Mele with two.
Joven Sandhu made six saves for her UFV side.
The Pronghorns had five players with two shots each, including the goal scorer Clements. Harding came up with nine saves for Lethbridge in the effort.
The match was originally scheduled for September 11
th but was postponed due to air quality concerns in Abbotsford, as a result both teams were playing their third match in four days.
"We just have to continue to focus our best on the positives and not allow certain moments to get us down" Noted Marcina.
"We have to try our best to be fresh and be ready for another two tough opponents on the road this weekend."
The Cascades continue their road swing this coming weekend with a visit to the UBC Okanagan heat on Friday (5 p.m. canadawest.tv), and the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack on Saturday (5:30 p.m. canadawest.tv). Meanwhile, the Pronghorns move on to host the MacEwan Griffins, and the Alberta Pandas this weekend.Â
