MONTREAL – Defender Emile Legault of Longueuil, Que., scored the game-winning goal in the 80th minute of play as the No. 2-ranked Montreal Carabins rallied for a 2-1 victory over visiting McGill in men's university soccer action at Stade CEPSUM, Friday.

McGill opened the scoring in 10th minute of play when freshman midfielder Nathan Yee of Richmond, B.C., connected on a one-timer delivered to him on a corner-kick from the foot of Nassim Kemel, a midfielder from Algeria who played with the Carabins last year
 
But UdeM knotted the score at 1-1 when striker Lohan Lefevre, a native of France, redirected a nice pass from midfielder Adam Benmoussa who was stationed just outside the left flank of the box.
 
Carabins goalkeeper Jordan Tisseur, a sophomore from Montreal, made a pair of saves en route to collecting the victory. At the other end of the field, Montrealer Ludovyck Ciociola saved three of five shots in a losing cause for the Redbirds.
 
The Carabins held a 6-3 edge in attempted shots, including a 5-3 margin on target. They also led 6-4 in corner-kicks.
