POST GAME

LETHBRIDGE – The Pronghorns scored three goals on the Dinos, but a late corner kick goal in the last ten minutes by Calgary earned a draw for the visitors. The Horns battled late for a go-ahead goal but could not capitalize on their strong start on this windy Sunday afternoon.
 

BREAKDOWN

  • The Dinos opened the scoring on the Sunday afternoon game at the University of Lethbridge Community Stadium, as Derek Brust found the back of the Horns net.
  • Kai Sakaguchi evened the score for the Pronghorns, finding his way through traffic to score on Dinos goalkeeper, Liam Hunter, for his first of the Canada West season in the 11th minute of play.
  • In the 26th minute of play, Karim Bey, found fifth year Pronghorn, Alasdair Coyle, to give the home team the lead against the visiting Dinos, 2-1.
  • Armaan Thawer continued to be stellar in net for the Horns, shutting down a Dinos free kick going into the half to preserve a one-goal Horns lead.
  • Coyle's second goal of the game came in the 52nd minute, as he battled through Calgary defenders in the box to bury another one for the Horns.
  • The two-point advantage for the Horns was short lived, as a Pronghorns foul gave Calgary a penalty kick opportunity in the 54th minute of play. The referees waved down the first penalty kick opportunity, but third year Dino, Gianmarco Plenzik, was successful in the retake making it 3-2 for the Horns.
  • The tying goal for the Dinos came in the 80th minute of play, as a corner kick by James Greco-Taylor sailed past Thawer and into the back of the Horns net.
  • Pronghorns battled to until the final minutes of play but couldn't complete the win despite scoring chances in extra minutes.
