Huskies 4, Wesman 2

With a 3-0 win over the visiting University of Winnipeg Wesmen on Oct. 1 at Field 7 in PotashCorp Park, the Huskies improved their winning streak to three matches.

Second-year Jacob Powell opened the scoring late in the first half. He collected the ball outside the 40-yard line and dribbled into the box, beating Wesman keeper Joshua Partaker with a high right shot. The Huskies earned the third goal in the match on a Winnipeg own goal in the 77th minute on a scramble in front of the net.

Shedrek Samuel gave the Huskies a 2-0 lead with his first CIS goal at 56 minutes in. Gabriel Bautois took a corner kick for the Huskies, and Carson MacDonald was able to get a touch before Samuel tipped the ball into the net, bumping the lead to 3-0.

Wesman keeper Joshua Partaker makes a leaping save to stop a high shot from the Huskies.

Huskie keeper Greg Buckley recorded his second shutout in a row and fourth of the season. The Huskies outshot the Wesman 15-4.

The Huskies ended their weekend with another win over the Wesman on Oct. 2.

Huskies Mitch Bauche opened the scoring in the seventh minute on a ball played by Bautois. His shot from the right side of the field flew into the right side of the net. Tyler Redl added the Huskies’ second goal of the match six minutes later, when Bryce Marinus played in a cross ball to the front of the net.

The Wesman cut the Huskies’ lead in half in the 49 minute with a goal by Krysztof Szulc on a scramble in front of the net. A shot bounced off the Huskie defenders before Szulc got a foot on the ball. Just three minutes later, Samuel found the net to give the Huskies a two goal lead again.

The Wesman closed the gap again in the 75 minute, but Sam Whiting pulled the Huskies ahead by two with a header from a Bauche corner kick at the 80-minute mark to secure the 4-2 win.

The sweep brings the Huskies to 5-3-2 record.
