MONTREAL – Striker Raphael Isiaka scored twice as the UQAM Citadins tripled McGill 3-1 in men's university soccer at Stade Saputo, Friday.

Midfielder Reese Carlow, an economics sophomore from Japan, tallied the lone McGill goal.

The result ended McGill's 3-0-1 undefeated streak against UQAM and moved the unranked Citadins into a tie with the Montreal Carabins for the league lead after seven games. Both have identical 4-1-2 records.

McGill, meanwhile, dropped to 2-3-2 on the season and sits two points shy of the fourth and final playoff berth in the seven-team RSEQ conference. With five games remaining before playoffs, the Redbirds are 2-3-2 and tied with fifth-place Concordia (2-2-2).

Timothe Makanzu rounded out the scoring for UQAM.

The Citadins had a 6-5 edge in shots on net, with goalkeeper Martin Cantona making four saves for the victory.

McGill 'keeper Chris Cinelli-Faia, a senior from Dollard des Ormeaux, Que., filled in between the pipes, replacing Ludovyck Ciociola starter who was serving a one-game suspension for incurring a red card in the last game. Cinelli-Faia registered three saves for McGill and took the loss.

The game was a testy affair, with six yellow cards issued, including four to the Redbirds.

UQAM will host fifth-place Concordia (2-2-2) on Oct. 2, while McGill will host the No.5-ranked Montreal Carabins (4-1-2) on Oct. 7 at 8:15 p.m.
