MONTREAL -- Stephanie Avery came off the bench
to score twice as the No.2-ranked McGill women's soccer team
blanked the UQTR Patriotes 5-0 at Molson Stadium, Friday.
The division-leading Martlets extended their win streak to five,
while eighth-place UQTR dropped to 0-5 in the QUSL.
Freshman Selena Colarossi, a midfielder from
Burlington, Ont., broke the ice in the 65th minute of play and
Avery made it 2-0 12 minutes later.
Trailing 2-0 late in the contest, the Patriotes were forced to
open up and McGill took advantage, exploding for three goals in the
final two minutes of play.
Avery tallied her second of the soiree in the 89th minute,
followed by markers in injury time from senior midfielder
Hannah Simmons of Vancouver, B.C., and striker
Bianca Cordileone, a freshman from Laval, Que.
"It took us a while to break their defence," said McGill head
coach Marc Mounicot. "UQTR played well and were
organized for 65 minutes but we were able to find a solution and
played with greater confidence and poise the last 45 minutes."
McGill had a lopsided 16-2 edge in shots on net, a 7-2 advantage
in corner kicks and a 13-0 margin in crosses. Rookie 'keeper
Victoria Muccilli of Mississauga, Ont., got the
call for her third start of the regular season and earned her third
shutout in as many games. A beleaguered Isabelle B.
Senecal registered14 saves in a losing cause for the
Patriotes.
"Some changes at halftime brought the team to a higher level of
play," added Mounicot. "Colarossi and Avery gave us more options
upfront and we had an opportunity to rest some key players for
Sunday's much-awaited showdown with the Montreal Carabins."
Kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. at Stade CEPSUM, on the other side
of Mt. Royal.
