WSOC: Langston’s goal gives Cascades a share of the points against Mount Royal

Victoria BC – Kiana Langston scored early in the second half to erase a Mount Royal Cougars lead, and despite a couple of late chances to win it the UFV Cascades came away with single point as it ended 1-1 on Sunday in Calgary.

The Cascades record moves to 2-5-1 with the result, while the Cougars go to 2-5-2 on the year.

How it happened:
The Cougars got out to an early lead, as a Julia Makoloski cross found Analisa Galvez in the box, and the resulting shot eluded Cascades keeper Alana Madec to score.

The Cascades struck back early in the second half, as a Sarah Belcher throw-in was played to Langston from Keanna Bentley on the right wing. Langston's strong shot beat the MRU keeper at the near post to tie it up 1-1.
 
Belcher came up big at the defensive end for UFV in the 73rd minute, as a shot from the top of the box seemed destined for the goal before the third-year defender popped up to clear it off the line. 
 
Moments later, UFV's Zoe Black had a great chance to put her team in front when the MRU keeper was unable to hold on to a cross, but Black's shot slid just wide. 

The Cascades had one more chance to go ahead late, as Emerson Toop drove around a defender in the 86thminute and played a dangerous cross into the box. Emma Olson found it at the top of the six-yard box, but her shot was blocked by an MRU defender to keep the score level. 

Notable: 
Langston's third goal of the season puts her in the team lead.

Quotable:
UFV head coach Ari Adams

"We created multiple opportunities to win that game, and the girls brought some energy into the second half. It's obviously positive that we were able to come from behind and tie up the game. It's unfortunate we weren't able to get the three points, and I think we really deserved it."

Next Up:
The Cascades now return home to face the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on October 4, and the UBC Okanagan Heat on October 6. Game times are set for 6 pm and 12pm respectively, and the game can be streamed live on canadawest.tv.
