Box Score CALGARY – The University of Calgary Dinos women's soccer team grabbed its sixth win of the season with a 2-0 victory over the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns Saturday afternoon.
Jordan Smith scored both tallies for the Dinos in the opening half as Calgary improves to 6-2-1 on the season. Lethbridge falls to 2-4-3.
"Our first half let us down today," said interim head coach Fred Trinh. "we were down two 37 minutes in and it is tough to come back against a quality team like the Dinos."
It looked like the Dinos were going to take the lead early in the game when Smith came in from the bottom of the six with a kick from her right boot, but defenceman Kim Shellenberg would keep the ball out and give the Dinos at a chance at a corner; which would go unanswered.
There wouldn't be a goal until the 21st minute when Jordan Smith got the pass of Maddie Lee who was at the top of the 18. She slipped the ball through to Smith and tucked it into the corner of the net.
The second goal in the dying moments of the first half, for her second of the game, came off the foot of Smith with a pass from teammate Dominica Wronski. Taking the shot from the right side of the 18-yard line, goalkeeper Micaela Stone got her fingertips on the ball, but it wasn't enough and it would go top left shelf and the Dinos would end the half with a 2-0 lead.
The will face the Pronghorns in a return engagement Sunday afternoon in Lethbridge before returning home next week to face UBC and Victoria.
