Quarter-Final No. 3: Ahuntsic defeated Algonquin 1-0 (5-3 Penalty Kicks)

Ahuntsic advanced to the semifinals of the 2015 CCAA Women's Soccer National Championship with a 5-3 victory in penalty kicks over the OCAA champion Algonquin Thunder.
 
With teams combining for 12 goals in the first two games of the championship, the third quarter-final of the day was the exact opposite with the two sides going scoreless over 90 minutes.
 
In penalty kicks, the first seven shooters all scored on their attempts giving Ahuntsic a 4-3 lead. With Algonquin's fourth shooter up, second-year goalkeeper Lea Palacio-Tellier stretched out to make the first save of penalty kicks.
 
Palacio-Tellier then had the honour of taking the next penalty kick for Ahuntsic. She made no mistake as she buried it in the bottom-left corner to send the Indiennes to the semifinals.
 
Defender Catherine Cloutier was named player of the game for Ahuntsic, doing a great job of patrolling the back line through out the course of the game. CCAA all-Canadian Sylvie Avedissian was named player of the game for the Thunder.
 
Ahuntsic's semifinal match will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. Algonquin will still have a chance at a podium finish playing in the bronze medal quarter-final at 12:30 p.m.
