MONTREAL –
Brenna Bordeniuk of Calgary earned a shutout and four different players scored as the McGill women's soccer team cruised to a 4-0 victory over UQTR on Sunday at Percival Molson Stadium
The resulted extended McGill's undefeated streak against the Patriotes to 4-0-3.
Bordeniuk, a science freshman who had missed the past two contests with an undisclosed injury, needed only two saves to register her second clean sheet of the season.
The Martlets led 2-0 at halftime and added another pair in the second stanza.
McGill had a 19-3 edge in attempted shots, including a 12-2 margin on net. Senior
Giovanna Tiberio of Montreal was credited with the winning goal only five minutes into the contest.
Five minutes later,
Liliane Lefebvre set up striker
Thalia Krauth-Ibarz for her league-leading sixth goal of the season. The science freshman from Brossard, Que., has a slim one-goal lead over Montreal's
Maxyme Nobert, Laval's
Joelle Mercier and Sherbrooke's
Marilou Dugrenier, each tied for second in the scoring race with five markers.
After the intermission, forward
Noemi Briollais, a senior from Toronto, made it 3-0 and
Victoria Sturgess put the contest out of reach in the 73
rd minute. It was the first goal of the campaign for the senior striker from Quakertown, Penn., who was injured in preseason play. Sophomore
Sara Escallon-Sotomayor of Toronto, added a helper on the play.
