Lions Win First Ever ACAC Outdoor Soccer Game

While it was a cold and blustery night in Calgary, it did not keep tensions for getting hot!  A heated battle took place as the Ambrose Lions defeated the Rattlers, achieving their first win of the season.   The Lions stuck quickly as a Matthew Wideman scored in the 32^nd minute taking the Lions into the half with a 1 to 0 lead.  Immediately following the goal however, Lions athletes, Austin Carter and Matias Hains both picked up yellow cards in the 35^th minute.  Lucas Reimer and Colton Pacheo also picked up yellow cards this evening.  In the 2^nd half, the Lions scored quickly again!  Matthew Wideman netted his 2^nd of the game in the 48^th minute.  Not long after tensions flared again seeing Matais Hains pick up his 2^nd yellow card in the 56^th minute leading to his ejection.  The Lions managed to hold the Rattlers at bay even playing a man short in the final half hour.  The Lions had to wait a few extra minutes before they were able to celebrate their first ever ACAC Outdoor Soccer victory, as in the first half, a collision between a Lions and a Rattler led to a net breaking.  Thankfully no one was hurt in the incident.  Up next the Lions take on the Lethbridge Kodiaks tomorrow afternoon.
