CALGARY – On a less-than-pleasant evening on Dinosaur Field, the University of Calgary Dinos bounced back from their season-opening defeat in a major way, topping the Lethbridge Pronghorns by a score of 2-0.
 
The victory put the Dinos in the win column for the first time this season, leveling their record at 1-1-0. Meanwhile, the Pronghorns are still looking for their first win of the season, as their record drops to 0-2-1.
 
It took just over 135 minutes for Calgary to score their opening goal of the season, but very early in the second half the Dinos would finally break through. An intricate passing play off a throw-in between Derek Brust and Dondre Bailey, led to a beautiful cross from Bailey, which Dominik Zuczek would head home past the keeper.
 
Zuczek was far from done, as midway through the half in the 63rd minute, he took a beautiful through ball down the field, cut back to the center of the box, and drilled one into the back of the net.
 
The Dinos controlled the majority of the game, outshooting Lethbridge 17-7 in the match. Fifth-year defenders Cristiano De Carvalho and Mark Bohdan were rock solid at the back, thwarting most of the Pronghorn attacks.
 
Dinos goalkeeper Jake Ruschkowski was not overly busy during the match, as the Pronghorns only managed two shots on net. However, when he was tested, he was up to the test, earning his first clean sheet of the season.
 
Lethbridge showed no quit in the game, as their best scoring opportunity came in the 80^th minute on a beautiful one touch shot from James Braid, which forced Ruschkowski to make a diving stop.
 
The Dinos will look to keep the momentum from this win going, as they host the Saskatchewan Huskies Saturday at 6 p.m.
 
Lethbridge will also be right back at it tomorrow, staying in the city of Calgary, and heading over to play the Mount Royal Cougars at 4 p.m.
