The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the University of Manitoba Bisons, 1-0, in Winnipeg, Manitoba to even their CWUAA regular season record at 1-1-0. The win marks Head Coach Rob Giesbrecht’s first CIS/CWUAA regular season win at the helm of the Cascades. “I am so proud of our effort today. We showed great strength of character by responding to a tough result yesterday,” said Giesbrecht who is no stranger to winning in the CIS, as Rob spent five years as Trinity Western University’s Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach.
The Cascades came out strong again, like Saturday, and put pressure on Manitoba’s defense from the opening whistle. They moved the ball around the pitch and had numerous early opportunities to open the scoring, but the Bisons were equal to the task holding UFV off the score sheet until fourth year veteran Megan Webster, Abbotsford, BC scored from 30 yards out to give Coach Giesbrecht his first Cascade goal! Third year veteran goalkeeper Chantelle Biagioni, Pitt Meadows, BC and the Cascade defense led by fifth year veteran Lyndsay Munro, Maple Ridge, BC and Samantha Slack, Surrey, BC made Webster’s goal stand up as the Cascades earned their first shutout victory of the 2010 CWUAA regular season.
“We were aggressive and assertive going forward. Defensively we battled hard and limited their chances.” Giesbrecht said about his team’s effort in the victory over Manitoba.
