KINGSTON, Ont. (August 27, 2015) – The men's soccer team closes out their preseason with a 3-1 victory over the University of Ottawa.

GAME FLOW
The Gaels got on the scoresheet early in the game with a strike by last year's leading scorer Jacob Schroeter (Ottawa) in the 14th minute. The Gaels controlled the pace of the game for most of the first half. The Gaels added another goal just before the break of half-time with a 30 yard strike by Nick Bernal that caught the goalkeeper off his line.

The second half featured more back and forth action with both teams having quality scoring chances. Ottawa's Nick Faubert got one back for the visitors scoring a goal from the top of the box in the 71st minute to bring the game within reach.  Ottawa really brought the pressure late in the second half and came close to evening up the score, but Gaels goalkeeper Kyle Lanzinger made key saves. The Gaels added a late goal off a corner kick in the 90th minute by Conor Hannigan.

By the Numbers:
4 – Number of total yellow cards in the match
3 – Number of goals scored by the Gaels
9 – Number of substitutions made by the Gaels
3 – Number of days until the Gaels season opener at Carleton

The team will head off to Ottawa this weekend to open the season against the Carleton Ravens on Sunday August 30th.
