MONTREAL - Sophomore Yohann Capolungo, a native
of France, scored twice as the McGill Redmen came out firing with
four first-half goals and coasted to an easy 4-0 win over UQAM at
Molson Stadium, Sunday.
Capolungo, a speedy 5-foot-9, 158-pound forward,netted the
game-winner at the 21-minute mark of the opening stanza and made it
3-0 in the 39th minute.
Eugene Graske, a fourth-year import from
Germany, tallied the insurance marker, converting a pass from
Gareth Pugh in the 33rd minute. Pugh then made it
4-0 in the final minute of the opening half to move into a tie for
first-place among QUSL scoring leaders. He now has five goals and
three assists in 11 contests, with one game remaining.
Goalkeeper Jean-Lou Gosselin of Longueuil,
Que., made four saves for the shutout. The Citadins used two
keepers. Raphael Schott started and concededl four
goals on six shots before being replaced at halftime by
Alexandre Rouge, who blanked the Redmen the rest
of the way.
The win all but clinched a playoff berth for McGill, which sits
third in the Quebec conference standings with a 5-3-3 record, four
points ahead of fourth-place UQAM (3-2-5). A win or tie in their
final regular season game, at UQTR on Nov. 1, will assure the
Redmen of participating in post-season play. Fifth-place UQTR
(3-3-4) has two games in hand and can still catch the Redmen with a
pair of victories..
