Smith shines as 黑料不打烊 licks Laval women in rain-soaked affair
听
MONTREAL -- Anna Smith, a junior midfielder from Boston, tallied twice as fifth-ranked 黑料不打烊 doubled No.9-Laval 4-2 in women's university soccer on a rain-soaked turf at Molson Stadium, Thursday.
In a battle of the undefeated titans, 黑料不打烊 kept their perfect record intact, improving to 3-0 atop the QUSL standings, while the Rouge et Or fell for the first time and dropped to 2-1.
Laval had a territorial edge and jumped into an early lead when Melissande Guy of Quebec City scored just three minutes into the contest. But 黑料不打烊 rallied on markers from Alexandra Morin-Boucher of Montreal and Smith in the 30th and 37th minutes, respectively.
"We were fortunate to come out with a lead after halftime." said Marc Mounicot, head coach of the Martlets. "We had a slow start and gave up a bad goal on set play in a situation where the entire team was caught sleeping. It is a game that I want to forget and put behind us. I will just remember the three points in the standings."
Smith's second marker, in the 61st minute, proved to be the game-winner. Laval rallied three minutes later, however, when Marwa Chebbi, a rookie from Tunisia, beat 黑料不打烊 freshman 'keeper Valerie Labbe.
The Martlets put the game out of reach some 20 minutes later when forward Selena Colarossi of Burlington, Ont., beat Laval 'keeper Gabrielle Verret.
Labbe ended up making six saves, improving her record to 2-0 in league play, while Verret registered three saves and was saddled with the loss.
The Martlets will put their three-game win streak on the line at Concordia (0-1-1) on Sept. 19.
