BOX SCORE REGINA – A 2-0 win by the Calgary Dinos Sunday afternoon over the Regina Cougars sets up a huge final weekend of play in the 2011 season next week.
BOX SCORE
Saaraa Premji and
Tessa Miller both scored for Calgary, while goalkeeper
Kristen Barton made five saves to secure the shutout for the Dinos. Calgary (6-3-3) is tied with Victoria for fourth place in the Canada West standings, but the Dinos have a match in hand on the Vikes (6-4-3).
Molly Glass had six of Regina's 10 shot attempts, three of which were saved by Barton. The Cougars fall to 1-9-2 with the loss.
Calgary scored the game's opening goal in the 18th minute. A cross sent into the box was cleared out by a Regina defender but right to Premji, who lofted it over Regina goalkeeper Michelle Anderson for her first goal of the season.
The Dinos got another 10 minutes later. A long punt by Barton took a high bounce off the turf and found a streaking Miller in behind Regina's back line, and the fourth-year striker made no mistake to give the visitors a 2-0 lead.
Calgary finishes off the Canada West schedule with critical home matches against UBC and Trinity Western next weekend, while the Cougars end the season on the road against Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Victoria has just one game remaining on Saturday, Oct. 29 when they host the UFV Cascades (3-7-3). The Dinos still control their own destiny, but they face the top two teams in Canada West in UBC and TWU next week.
