Laurier 3 at Brock 1
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (Oct. 15, 2013) - The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks women's soccer (8-3-3) team traveled to St. Catharines Wednesday afternoon to take on the Brock Badgers (3-8-4). The Hawks took the first meeting between the two this season and they would do so again, winning 3-1.
Neither team was able to find the board for the majority of the first half but Brock broke through just before the halftime whistle. Badgers rookie Alana Wong of Mississauga, Ont., tallied her first career goal to give Brock the advantage after 45 minutes.
The Badgers would hold the lead until the 70th minute when Katie Bishop of Surrey, B.C., would put in the equalizer. The Hawks would maintain the offensive pressure and within six minutes of Bishop's goal, Emily Brown of Waterloo, Ont., had scored twice to give Laurier an insurmountable 3-1 edge.
The two goals bring Brown's total up to 16 on the year, breaking her own team record from last season with two games remaining. She also takes over the CIS scoring lead, vaulting Marie-Eve Jacques from Sherbrooke who has 15 goals on the season.
Brown will look to add to her total this weekend when the Hawks travel to Guelph on Saturday to take on the Gryphons before returning to University Stadium Sunday to close out their season at home against McMaster.

Ryerson 1 at Trent 3
PETERBOROUGH, Ont. – The Ryerson Rams women’s soccer team couldn’t hold onto a 1-0 first half lead and eventually fell by a score of 3-1 to the Trent Excalibur on Wednesday night.
Rebecca Arnott (Whitby, Ont.) opened the scoring in the 10th minute of play for the Rams, heading home a corner kick delivered by Niki Paiva (Waterloo, Ont.).
Ryerson looked to be in control until Trent was awarded a penalty kick in the 72nd minute and Sabrina Bulfon converted from the dot to tie the score at ones.
Just over five minutes later, Valarie Andrew used a burst of speed to get by the Ryerson defence and was able to chip home the go-ahead goal.
Right as time was expiring the Excalibur cashed in on a header from a corner kick as Katherine Munro added an insurance marker to round out the scoring at 3-1.
Ryerson (3-9-2) will have a tough road to the playoffs now, as they will need at least one victory, if not two, against two difficult opponents in Ottawa and Carleton to round out the season.
The Rams will get their opportunity beginning Saturday, October 19 when they take on the Carleton Ravens at 5:45 p.m. and then face the No. 1 nationally ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 p.m.
