PETERBOROUGH, Ont. - Cambrian College’s first-ever OCAA
women’s soccer playoff game was a success as the Golden
Shield defeated host Fleming (Peterborough) 3-2 following penalty
kicks on Saturday to advance to the next round.
Cambrian battled back from a pair of one-goal deficits, first in
regulation, then in overtime to force a shootout.
Amy Stewart (Sudbury, Ont.) scored and regulation and Kristy
Mancuso (Sault St. Marie, Ont.) hit the clutch goal in overtime for
the Golden Shield.
Dena Tackoor (Whitby, Ont.) and Mallory Minnema (Perth, Ont.) both
scored for Fleming.

College (7-0-1) for an OCAA quarter-final game.
Conestoga 1, Redeemer 0
At Conestoga College, first-year midfielder Candice Figueroa
(Cambridge, Ont.) picked a great time to score her first OCAA goal
as the host Condors edged Redeemer University College 1-0 on
Saturday.
The game was a continuation of the regular season finale played
between these two clubs which ended in a scoreless draw last
Wednesday.
Conestoga (4-2-2, 1-0 playoffs) will now visit Seneca College
(6-2-0) in the next round to decide which team advances to the OCAA
championship tournament.
Durham 4, La Cite 1

(Whitby, Ont.) and fourth-year veteran Jennifer Sheehan (Whitby,
Ont.). Scoring La Cite’s lone goal was second-year striker
Sylvie Nghabe.
