The Mount Royal Cougars faced off against the University of Alberta Panda's today in an extremely defensively minded match.
The two teams were limited offensively and spent the entirety of the first half battling it out at center field with inconsistent possession going both ways.
Janai Martens changed the tone for MRU after a huge shot to finish the first 45 minutes that was denied by a miraculous diving save from U of A's Ashley Turner.
Both teams found their groove for the second half, demonstrating more consistent ball control and smoother passes across the field. Greenley was able to step up against a more aggressive Panda's performance, putting up 9 impressive saves.
Natasha Fourlas stole the show for the MRU women though, repeatedly defending the goal line and denying Alberta's attacks.
The Cougars ended up short, with U of A's Georgia Tansley scoring her first and second goals of the season in the last 18 minutes of regular time to give the Panda's the win.
MRU is back at home tomorrow when they face off against MacEwan University at 1PM.
