Three-goal first half leads Trojans past Kodiaks

CALGARY, ALTA., (Sept. 30, 2018) — The first time around, last minute heroics were needed. This time, things were a little different.

The SAIT Trojans men's soccer team dominated possession of the ball for the majority of the game en route to a one-sided 5-1 decision over the Lethbridge College Kodiaks in their Sunday afternoon Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) contest played at Cohos Commons Field.

The first time these teams met, the Trojans got a pair of headers from Brad Atherton (1^st year, Calgary, Business Administration) late to come from behind and win 3-2. Fast forward to today were in the driver's seat at half with a 3-0 lead.

"We're mid-season, so we are a little more confident in our style of play," said Trojans veteran midfielder, Jake Walmsley (5^th year, Cranbrook, BC, Bachelor of Business Administration). "We made them play our game, as opposed to dropping down to their level, and it really showed."

SAIT's victory gives them a perfect 7-0 record, while the Kodiaks fall to 3-3-1.

Reigning ACAC Player of the Year Dean Northover scored twice, while Johnny Hutchinson, Martin Bertolesi and Armando Garcia added solo markers. 

Wilson Ntignee scored Lethbridge College's long goal of the contest.
