TORONTO – The UBC Thunderbirds advance to their 15th CIS
final in program history as the Canada West champions shut out the
host University of Toronto Varsity Blues 3-0 in the second
semifinal of the day at the 2010 CIS men’s soccer
championship, Saturday afternoon.
UBC, who holds the CIS record with 11 national titles, will look
for their third-straight win over an OUA competitor when they take
on the York Lions in the gold-medal match tomorrow at 4 p.m. The
Lions defeated the Saint Mary’s Huskies 1-0 in the first
semifinal of the day.
Toronto will face Saint Mary’s in their second consecutive
bronze-medal match appearance tomorrow at 1 p.m.
UBC’s Brandon Bonifacio of Vancouver scored the eventual
game-winner in the first minute, receiving a low cross from
second-yard forward Greg Smith and slotting the ball into the
bottom left corner of the net.
"A little bit of quality right off the bat put us on our way
today,” said UBC head coach Mike Mosher. “It's
unbelievable when you can score early, let alone the first minute.
It just completely settles a team and puts your opponents on their
heels right away.”
“You can’t go into a national championship and play a
team like UBC and not have a good start and make an error like that
and expect to win the game,” said Varsity Blues head coach
Anthony Capotosto.
The T-Birds went up by two in the 20th minute when Gagandeep Dosnjh
of Abbotsford, B.C., sent a pass to Port Moody, B.C., native Navid
Mashinchi just outside the six-yard box and made a short kick into
the top left corner of the net.
U of T’s Nordo Gooden of Kingston, Jamaica attempted to rally
the troops with a few nifty plays, but UBC defender Tyson Keam of
Langley, B.C. and keeper Zach Kalthoff were there to keep the ball
out of harms way.
The Blues continued to press with a couple of corner kick
opportunities in the 25th minute. Both looked promising but
sailed just wide of the net. Toronto goalkeeper John Smits of
Mississauga, Ont., came up with a big save in the 30th minute as
Matthew Allard of Vancouver redirected a UBC free kick deep in
Blues territory.
The T-Birds held a 2-0 lead at the half.
Darragh McGee of Donegal, Ireland connected with Fanny Bay, B.C.,
native and Varsity Blues player of the game Dylan Bams on a corner
kick in the opening minutes of the second half; however Kalthoff of
Calgary was there to make the diving save.
The Blues peppered Kalthoff with shots in the 55th minute but could
not solve the first-year goalkeeper, who ended the match with a
game-high six saves.
The T-Birds added an insurance marker in the 68th minute after
Blues co-captain Yannis Gianniotis took down Dosanjh inside the
18-yard box. First-year midfielder Alejandro Isern of
Barcelona, Spain stepped up for the penalty kick and calmly shot
the ball past a diving Smits into the net.
