MSOC: Cougars victorious over Pronghorns and finish weekend undefeated

Feathers littered the pitch and fog loomed on the horizon for kickoff between the Cougars and Pronghorns. The Cougars' Kyran Valley entered the match as the only keeper in the league to have zero goals against this season.

The game began with a string of Mount Royal corner kicks, one of which awarded their first shot on net against Lethbridge keeper Matthew Vandervoort. 

Mount Royal's Dane Domic was searching for his second goal of the season as he gave a strong effort against the Pronghorns with many shots on net. Finally after 20 minutes of play, Orest Ndabaneze was able to sneak past the Lethbridge keeper for the Cougars' first goal of the night.

The Pronghorns' defense was struggling to fend off the Cougars as they peppered them with shots. They rallied against the home team with a near miss of their own going just wide. 

Before the whistle for halftime, Domic finally succeeded in scoring his second goal of the season with assistance from defenseman Tom Reutten. 

The second half opened with a string of fouls on both sides, one of which led to a penalty kick for the Pronghorns. Ellis Davies was able to sink it deep into the net for the first goal against Valley this season. 

Mount Royal's Dawid Dudek tried to sneak one past the visitor's defense but was unable to fend off the fresh substitutions made by Lethbridge. MRU's Tysen Chatani found his own challenges after another round of Pronghorn switches, but found a way to score to take the Cougars to a 3-1 lead. 

As the final whistle blew, the Cougars remain undefeated with their third straight victory of the season.

The men will be hosted by the University of Alberta on Saturday, September 7th, to defend their winning streak. The match will be streamed on CanadaWest.tv presented Co-op.
