MONTREAL – Senior Erika Bastien, an all-star striker from Repentigny, Que., scored in injury time as the No. 3-ranked Montreal Carabins blanked McGill 1-0 in RSEQ women's soccer at Stade CEPSUM, Friday.
 
It was the first loss of the season for the unranked Martlets, who dropped to 2-1-0. Montreal improved to 2-0-1 and leapfrogged past McGill into first place with a 2-0-1 record.
 
UdeM goalkeeper Kelly Cantin, a sophomore from Greenfield Park, Que., registered a five-save shutout for the victory.
 
Bastien converted a left-side corner kick from midfielder Lorie Thibault to strike the ball through the right side of the net, past sprawled McGill 'keeper Sophie Guilmette, who registered six saves in a losing cause.
 
The Carabins had an 8-6 edge in attempted shots, including a 7-5 margin on target. They had a huge 7-0 edge in corner-kicks. McGill took 14 of the 24 fouls called in a contest that featured four yellow cards, two aside.
 
Both teams will have a rest day before returning to action for a Sunday matinee at 3:30 p.m. McGill (2-1-0) will host Bishop's (1-1-0), while Montreal (2-0-1) plays at Sherbrooke (1-2-0).
