TORONTO – The OUA bronze medalist Western Mustangs upset the
defending champion Laval Rouge et Or 1-0 in the consolation final
of the 2010 CIS men’s soccer championship at Varsity Centre
on Saturday night.
With the win, the Mustangs complete their 11th national tournament
appearance in fifth place with a 2-1 record.
After a heartbreaking 3-2 loss in penalty kicks on day 1, the Laval
Rouge et Or settle for a sixth-place finish, just one year after
claiming their first national title.
Western’s Pat Mroczek of St. Catharines, Ont., opened the
scoring in the 17th minute when he received a cross from
second-year defender and Waterloo, Ont., native Dominic Bell and
beat Laval goalkeeper Vincent Cournoyer on the short side for his
second goal of the tournament.
“It felt good to finally get a nice connection,” said
Mroczek after the match. “We knew we were in for a tough game
and that it wasn’t going to be easy.”
Laval’s Karim Byouline of Ruelisheim, France attempted to
rally the Rouge et Or with three shots on net in the first half,
but Mustangs goalkeeper Andrew Murdoch of Burlington, Ont.,
maintained the one-goal lead at halftime.
Ilyes Benmiloud of Paris, France had Laval’s best chance to
score in the 72nd minute when he was awarded a free kick 20 yards
in front of Western replacement keeper Ivan Skoko of Mississauga,
Ont. The Paris, France native curved the shot to the outside
as the ball sailed just wide of the net.
In the 87th minute, Laval’s Sunny Boisseau sent a long corner
kick to rookie defender Nafi Dicko-Raynauld of Gatineau, Que., but
Skoko was there to make the last-minute save and secure the 1-0
win.
“We game into the game to win,” said Mustangs head
coach Rock Basacco. “We wanted to come to the championships
and do as well as we possibly could and that’s what the team
did. You have to respect that they are the defending
champions and we didn’t take them lightly.”
