WSOC: Bisons withstand a frantic finish, beat Wolfpack 1-0

It's the fourth straight win for Bison women's soccer, who move into third alone in the Prairie division with two games left in the regular season.

KAMLOOPS, BC—They aren't out but its going to be tough for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack to get into the 2018 Canada West women's soccer league playoffs.

The WolfPack were beaten 1-0 by the visiting University of Manitoba Bisons at Hillside Stadium on Sunday (Oct 14).

The only goal of the contest came in injury time in the first half by Bruna Mavignier of the Bisons.

The shutout was shared by Madison Wilford and Justina Jarmoszko.

TRU falls to 3-8-1 while Manitoba jumps to 6-4-2.  The loss by TRU coupled by UBCO's win over Winnipeg (3-1) means the Heat have moved into the sixth and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Both UBCO and TRU will close out the regular season next week on the road against the same opponents: UNBC and MacEwan.

This was the first match between the two schools in three years.

This was the final home regular season match for the WolfPack and also the final career appearance for their lone graduating player: midfielder Marlie Rittinger (4th year, Ashcroft, BC).
 
SYNOPSIS
TRU carried the play offensively in the first half with eight shots but it was the Bisons who drew first blood. In the first stages of injury time in the opening half, Kelsey Thorkelsson (3rd year, Winnipeg, MB) fell while trying to defend Machaela Burdeny.  Burdeny slid the ball cross field to Burna Mavignier whose low blast was just out of the reach of TRU keeper Danielle Robertson.

The Bisons took out starting keeper Madison Wilford to begin the second half but she was forced to re-enter the match in the 70th minute when her replacement, Justina Jarmoszko was injured catching a long kick at the top of the box and collided with two WolfPack players on an innocent play.

QUOTES:
Manitoba head coach Vanessa Martinez Lagunas (6th year):

On game: "Full credit to my team. They worked hard when they had to. Bruna scored that beautiful goal just before the half and it was crucial. Really proud that because in the second half, Thompson Rivers was putting a lot of pressure on our net. The girls did a great job of keeping it at zero and we got the clean sheet."

On the keeper situation and why did she pull start Wilford after the first half: "We have a great group of goalkeepers. I wanted to give Justina (Jarmoszko) a chance. She was coming back from an injury. She was ready. Somebody hit her on the leg, exactly where she was a little bit injured. Maddie came back really strong. They really help each other. They know they are a group. A team. And that is what it counts."
