EDMONTON - Two goals in the first 16 minutes of play were the difference in a 2-0 decision in favour of the University of Calgary Dinos over the University of Alberta Pandas, Saturday afternoon at Foote Field in Edmonton.

Just after the opening minute ticked by, third-year midfielder Serena Lockhart got wide open at the side of the net, right after a penalty corner, for a short-range shot through the five-hole of Alberta netminder Tory Spencer.

In the 16th minute, fourth-year forward Kaitlyn Longworth was the recipient of a cross-crease pass that she put away for an easy tap-in goal, her second tally of the season.

The Pandas spent the rest of the game trying to overcome the two-goal deficit, but if a shot didn't just barely go wide, third-year 'keeper Stephanie Petrowitsch stood her ground to keep the home team off the scoreboard.

With a risk-taking Alberta offense, Calgary had some more opportunities late in the game, but Bedford, NS native Spencer shut the door in her own end, including a great pad save on sophomore Dino Keara Chicquen.

The now 0-3 Pandas will try again for their first victory of the season tomorrow in a rematch against the visiting 1-2 Dinos at 1 p.m. MT at Foote Field.
