Women's Soccer suffers 5-1 defeat at Sherbrooke
LENNOXVILLE, Que. - A pair of goals by striker Chloë Belhumeur-Limoges paced the Sherbrooke Vert & Or to a 5-1 victory over the visiting Bishop's Gaiters in Quebec University Soccer League action tonight at Sherbrooke's university stadium.
Belhumeur-Limoges opened the scoring in the third minute, and Claudia Gosselin's 11th-minute goal gave Sherbrooke a 2-0 halftime lead. The home side continued to cruise in the second half, as Belhumeur-Limoges' second goal, along with markers by Stéphanie Lamothe and Isabelle Genest put Sherbrooke up 5-0.
The Gaiters broke the shutout in the 87th minute, as Allison Verville (Whitby, Ont.) scored directly off a corner kick - her first career CIS goal. The rookie striker was named the Gaiters' team MVP for the second straight game. Molly Bucholtz (Peterborough, Ont.), making her second straight start, played another strong game in goal, but picked up the loss.
The Gaiters (0-2-1) return to action on Homecoming Friday, as they host the UQAM Citadins at Coulter Field. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m., and the game will be webcast live on SSN Canada.
