Box Score WINNIPEG -- With just three regular season games left entering play, the Bisons soccer team earned another critical win over cross-town rival Winnipeg, recording a 3-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Ralph Contafio Soccer Complex. The win improves their record to 4-8, and they jumped ahead of Regina for fifth in the Canada West standings. They're just three points behind Alberta for fourth.

Three different players scored for the Herd, who out-scored their cross-town rivals 4-0 over Duckworth Challenge weekend. They welcome Regina and Saskatchewan on October 14, and 15, respectively with playoff positioning at stake. If Manitoba wins both games next weekend and Alberta loses to both Lethbridge and Calgary, they will jump to fourth in the standings.

Karina Bagi stopped three shots for her tenth career shutout, the second-most in program history. She needs just 11 saves next weekend to tie the program record of 225, set in 2009.

Captain Jessica Tsai scored the game-winner just four minutes into play. She bent a corner kick brilliantly, bouncing off Wesmen goalie Madison Priebe and in. Tsai needs just three more shots on goal to tie the progtam record of 87.

Midway through the first half, the Herd made it 2-0, as true freshman Evelyn Lekivetz scored her first career U SPORTS goal off a spectacularly-placed corner by Breyanna Johnston-Krulicki. Lekivetz sprinted into the box just as the ball was ascending, racing past a Wesmen defender with a direct header.

It was the third straight goal scored by Manitoba on a corner, and second assist of the weekend for Johnston-Krulicki, after after distributing a similar pass the day before for the game-winner to Taryn Cabak.

Paris Sidhu added another highlight-reel goal for the Bisons in the second half, bending a blast from 20 yards out that went underneath the bar with perfect placement.
