It was a busy weekend for the Laurentian
Voyageurs as both the men's and women's soccer teams
took to the field, looking to start the season on a positive
note.
In men's soccer action, the Voyageurs
suffered two heartbreaking losses as they were shut out 2-0
Saturday by the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, and 4-0 on
Sunday by the York University Lions.
While Voyageur head coach Carlo Castrechino
stressed that the season was not yet lost, he was quick to
express disappointment with his team's performance.
"We didn't create any chances like we
should have," Castrechino said after the game.
"We will get back to work Tuesday with the
possibility of line-up and formation changes."
The Lady Vees didn't fare much better
this weekend, falling 2-1 to the U of T's Varsity Blues on
Saturday and tying their Sunday game versus the York University
Lions 2-2.
Brittany MacMillan scored the lone goal for
the Lady Vees on Saturday while Jenna Roach and Cara Smith each
lit the lamp in Sunday's game.
"We came out today exactly the same as
yesterday, with a terrible first half," said Lady Vees head
coach Rob Gallo after Sunday's tie.
"Yet we manage to come back in the second
half, which shows our capability as a team."
Both the Lady Vees and the Voyageurs play
their next games against Nipissing on Sept. 17 at Laurentian
University.
