Memorial men lose, Cape Breton held to draw in men’s soccer
It was not a good weekend for the Seahawks. A 4–0 drubbing by Moncton, followed by a torrid showing against UNB last Saturday has ended the Seahawk’s promising start.
The UNB loss saw Memorial behind only five minutes in to a Galen Smith goal. Shea Nordheim also scored for the Varsity Reds to make it 2 – 0, a scoreline that could have been much more lopsided if UNB had finished better.
Sunday saw Memorial drop two valuable points to Mt. Allison, a 2–2 draw in one of the few winnable games this year for the Seahawks.
The Cape Breton Capers were held to a surprise 1–1 draw by Moncton last Saturday. The defending champions responded well on Sunday, however, beating UNB in Fredericton 2–0.
