SHERBROOKE, Que. – It was 67 minutes of tight, hard fought soccer as the Bishop's Gaiters kept the reigning RSEQ Champion Montreal Carabins in check on Friday night. The Carabins had exploded for 11 goals in their opener but through 67 minutes, Bishop's kept them off the scoresheet.
 
Montreal, who controlled possession for much of the night, was finally able to beat Bishop's keeper Mehana Heins (Ottawa, Ont./Merivale S.S.) in the 68^th minute. Midfielder Fatima Gharsallah scored both goals for the Carabins, her second coming in the 79^th minute.
 
Montreal took 25 shots at target, 11 of them connecting while Bishop's fired four, two of them on net.
 
Head Coach Paul Ballard:
 
Heins was named the game MVP for Bishop's and Gharsallah earned the honour for Montreal.
 
The Gaiters also lost their opening game of the year, a 6-0 defeat at McGill on Wednesday.
 
Next Up Bishop's heads to Concordia on Friday, Sept. 6. Game time is 6 p.m.
