Pronghorns drop first of home-and-home with Calgary


LETHBRIDGE – In search of their first win of the season, the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns would find themselves overpowered by the sixth ranked Calgary Dinos, 3-1, in the first leg of their home-and-home set this weekend.

With the victory, the Dinos would improve to 5-1-1 on the season, bouncing back from a disappointing weekend against Mount Royal. With the loss, the Pronghorns drop to 0-5, with head coach Macky Singh still in search of his first win at the helm of the 'Horns.

Sporting the conferences third highest scoring offense, the Calgary Dinos opened the scoring in the sixth minute due to a Pronghorns defensive blunder. Fifth-year Dino Montana Leonard capitalized on the early mistake to push her total to nine goals on the season.

In the 53rd  minute, fourth-year midfielder Shyanne Hedges capitalized on another 'Horns defensive mishap that led to a throw-in deep in Pronghorns territory. Unable to clear the ball, the throw-in skipped into the box, where Hedges made no mistake with a top corner finish.

In the 60th minute, first-year fullback Brooke Barcelona earned the 'Horns a penalty kick following a strong effort to drive into the box to receive a cross from second-year Grace Taylor. Head coach Macky Singh would turn to second-year midfielder Lucy Mundy who would make no mistake on the penalty to cut the Dinos' lead to 2-1.

Less than 12 minutes later, Pronghorn goal scorer Lucy Mundy would make a fantastic play in the midfield, spinning to free herself of Dino midfielder Jayden Berg. This would result in a give and go play where Mundy would receive the ball back for an uncontested chance on net but couldn't beat Dino keeper Lauren Houghton.

In the seventy-eighth minute, the Dinos would restore a two-goal lead thanks to a fantastic 35-yard strike from fifth year forward Kelsie Macdonald.

Macdonald's strike would hold as the game's last goal, with the Dinos securing a 3-1 victory in Lethbridge.

The Pronghorns and Dinos will run it back tomorrow afternoon at Dinosaur Field in Calgary, with kickoff set for 12PM.
