Amelia Crawford leads UBC past Acadia 1-0 in Canadian university women’s soccer
WOLFVILLE, N.S. — Second-year forward Amelia Crawford scored as the UBC Thunderbirds took a step toward repeating as Canadian university women’s soccer champions after a hard-fought 1-0 quarter-final victory over the host Acadia Axewomen on Thursday.
Crawford scored 23:31 into the first half with what would prove to be the game’s only goal. Shayla Chorney earned the assist.
Both ‘keepers, Marlee Maracle for UBC and Emma Connell for Acadia, had to be on their toes and they were, with Connell recording five saves and Maracle four.
With the win, UBC advances to a semifinal matchup with the Queen’s Gaels on Friday.
