WSOC: Bisons win first leg of Duckworth Challenge 1-0

Shannon Lee scored off a free kick in the 86th minute.

A formidable wind played into favour for the Manitoba Bisons Thursday in the first leg of the annual Duckworth derby. 

Shannon Lee scored off a free kick in the 86th minute and the Bisons women's soccer team defeated the Winnipeg Wesmen 1-0 in a Canada West conference match at the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex. 

The match also served as the first leg of the Duckworth Challenge which pits the crosstown schools against each other in a cumulative wins event that also incorporates basketball and volleyball. With the win, Manitoba improved to 9-0-2 against their cross-town rivals in the soccer portion of the challenge.

Lee drilled a free kick into the top corner from nearly 40 yards out after Sydney Arnold committed a foul just moments earlier. A strong northerly wind surely assisted the kick, but Lee's strike was top notch and eluded Wesmen keeper Camille Forbes. 

The Wesmen were playing defensively into that wind for nearly the entirety of the second half and fended off a few Bisons threats. 

In the first half, Winnipeg (1-10-0) had the closest opportunity to get on the board when Kennedy Shymko's shot had keeper Holly Dyker beat but rang off the bar in the 26th minute.

Forbes, who was named the Wesmen Duckworth Challenge MVP, finished with 11 saves and Dyker made one. 

The two teams will meet again Saturday in the second leg of the home-and-home derby at 1 p.m. at U of M.
