Pronghorns no match of undefeated Dinos

CALGARY – Facing the undefeated Calgary Dinos, the Lethbridge Pronghorn women's soccer team fell behind in the opening half and were unable to mount a comeback, falling 5-0 in Calgary Sunday afternoon.
 
On a day where the Dinos outshot the 'Horns by an 18-4 margin, two goals less than three minutes apart in the first half sent the Dinos into the break up 2-0, and they went on to add three more in the final 45. Calgary's record improves to 5-0-1 on the season, while Lethbridge falls to 0-4-2.
 
Calgary peppered Lethbridge 'keeper Hannah Quinn with 13 shots on goal in the contest and finally broke through a half hour in on a set piece. Damiane Sawatzky had the first touch from the corner kick, and Taylor Dangerfield redirected it to the left of Quinn to break the ice with her second of the campaign.
 
Just two minutes later, Montana Leonard was awarded a penalty and she made no mistake from the spot for her league-leading seventh of the season, and it was 2-0 Dinos in the 34th minute.
 
Kelsie MacDonald scored the first of two nifty tallies in the 52nd minute, staying onside and taking a lengthy feed from Amy Mikuska. Inside the box, MacDonald chipped it over a sprawling Quinn, corralled the loose ball, and rolled it into the open cage with the left foot. Ten minutes after that, Damiane Sawatzky picked up her first of the season when she outraced a defender inside the box, spun, and fired it just inside the left post to make the score 4-0.
 
MacDonald rounded out Calgary's offensive onslaught with a brilliant individual effort from the left side of the box, making it 5-0 in the 68th minute.
 
Quinn made eight saves on the 13 shots she faced for Lethbridge, while Dinos 'keeper Lauren Houghton had to make just a single save to earn her fourth clean sheet of the season.
 
The Dinos embark on a lengthy road trip next weekend with visits to Thompson Rivers in Kamloops Saturday followed by UBC Okanagan in Kelowna Sunday. Lethbridge returns home to host a pair of provincial rivals next week, with MacEwan visiting Saturday followed by Alberta Sunday.
