Capers move into sole possession of first place in AUS

Heading into the final weekend of the Atlantic University Sport soccer season the Cape Breton University men’s soccer team find themselves sitting alone on top of the standings. The Capers extended their undefeated streak to 11 games following a 2-1 victory over the CIS #4 ranked Dalhousie Tigers on Sunday in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Andrew Rigby of Nottingham, England scored the game winning goal on a header in midway through the second half to secure the win. Rigby would earn his fifth Subway player of the game award of the season for his efforts.
