Salvage operation needed as Redmen settle for tie against Laval
Ìý
MONTREAL - In a game that featured everything but the kitchen sink, senior striker Eugene Graske, a native of Germany, scored with 15 minutes remaining as ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ salvaged 2-2 draw with visiting Laval in men's soccer action at Molson Stadium, Friday.
Ìý
Veteran Gareth Pugh of Ottawa, had given ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute of play but the Rouge et Or rallied with a pair of goals from the foot of David Chapdelaine-Miller. The senior from Drummondville, Que., evened the score in the 54th minute and was credited with the go-ahead marker in the 78th minute after ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ junior Graeme Tingey accidently scored an own goal on Redmen 'keeper Jean-Lou Gosselin.
Ìý
The two teams combined for 16 fouls and five yellow warning cards four to the Redmen.
Ìý
Laval was forced into using three different goaltenders. Vincent Cournoyer, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound sophomore, started and kicked out one of two shots faced until being knocked out of the game with an undisclosed injury in the 37th minute. He was replaced between the pipes by reserve 'keeper Benoit Lepage until halftime. After intermission, the Rouge et Or trotted out a second replacement in Pascale Braggagnolo, a 5-foot-11 defender from Quebec City.
Ìý
The game featured six offside plays, all by the Redmen as they attempted to take advantage of the revolving door in the Laval net. Despite the zany scenario in the Laval net, Redmen 'keeper Jean-Lou Gosselin of Greenfield Park, Que., was called upon to make five saves and was picked by Laval coach Samir Ghrib as ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s player of the game..
Ìý
The result left ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ with a 2-1-3 record, one point behind Laval (3-2-1), which holds down third-place in the seven-team Quebec University Soccer League. The Montréal Carabins (4-1-1) continue to lead the standings, with UQAM (3-0-3) maintaining the hold on second place, two points ahead of Laval.
Ìý
The Redmen have a day off to regroup before heading to Quebec City for a return engagement on Sunday.
