No. 6 Montreal 8 Bishop's 0 Final
A brace by Eva Thouvenot led the No. 2-ranked Montreal Carabins to an 8-0 victory over the Bishop's Gaiters in Quebec University Soccer League action tonight. Thouvenot's first goal put the Carabins up 2-0 in the 13th minute, while her second goal, in the 44th minute, gave Montreal a 5-0 halftime lead. Marylise Monchalin (7'), Emilie Chamard (23'), Veronique Laverdière (36'), Virginie Levesque (67'), Chloë Sabourin (PK 71') and Emmanuelle Beliveau (73') had the other goals for Montreal (4-1-0).

Becky Yates made 12 saves in goal for Bishop's, and was named the Gaiters' team MVP. Laverdière took MVP honours for Montreal.
The game was halted for approximately 15 minutes at the 60-minute mark due to a thick fog that enveloped Coulter Field.
The Gaiters' (0-4-1) next action is on Sunday, as they visit the UQTR Patriotes (0-5-0). UQTR suffered a 5-0 loss at McGill tonight. Kickoff at the CAPS in Trois-Rivières is set for 1 p.m.

VANCOUVER - The No. 5-ranked UBC Thunderbirds dropped their first
game of the 2010 season, losing at home against the No. 4-ranked
Alberta Pandas. Alberta capitalized on a pair of corner kicks as
the prairie visitors prevailed 2-0 at Thunderbird Park.
Pandas-T-Birds Game Stats
The rapidly improving Pandas (5-0-0), who moved four spots
and ahead of UBC in this weeks' CIS rankings, provided the first
true test of the season for the Thunderbirds (3-1-1).
"It was a frustrating night for us. We took too long to get motivated and that allowed Alberta to put the sword to us", said UBC head coach Mark Rogers.
Rogers' frustration stemmed from his side's inability to defend Alberta's corner kicks. Alberta's first goal came off a short corner quickly taken by midfielder Elise Emmott. Emmott surprised the UBC defence by sliding the ball high to defender Keshia Wallin. Wallin was then allowed to penetrate the T-Birds' back line and send a dangerous cross into the box that found the head of Carleigh Miller who bounced the ball into the heart of UBC's goal.
No. 1 Trinity Western 4 Saskatchewan 0

4-0 win over the visiting University of Saskatchewan Friday night
at Rogers Park at TWU’s Langley, B.C. campus.
