Herd Defeats Second Top Ten Team in 2007 Manitoba improves to 3-1-0 after 2-0 win over #4 TWU |
September 15 - Manitoba swept their weekend road trip out West with a 2-0 win over #4 ranked Trinity Western. Manitoba improved their record to 3-1-0 and earned only their second back-to-back road victories in the team's three year history of Canada West play (first time: Sept. 24-25/05 at Regina). This is the first time Bison women's soccer, in conference action, has won any games against B.C. teams on the road. Karli Copitts scored twice to register three goals this weekend and raise her conference goal total to four. Ashley Forbes earned her first shutout of the season with three saves. Manitoba has now beaten two ranked teams so far this season (#9 Victoria and #4 Trinity Western). The Bisons return home to host the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday, September 22 at a special time of 10 a.m. (prior to the Bison football game) at University Stadium. They will then host Saskatchewan Huskies on Sunday, September 23 at noon at University Stadium. |
