Late goal sends Gaels past Nipissing and into OUA semifinals

KINGSTON, Ont. (Oct. 28, 2023) – Vita Naihin corralled the rebound and found the back of the net with less than 10 minutes of regulation to play, sending Queen's Women's Soccer past the Nipissing Lakers 2-1 and into the OUA semifinals, Saturday night at Richardson Stadium.

The tightly played contest was even 1-1 up until Naihin (Markham, Ont.) broke the deadlock, finishing off a strong play started by the Gaels' Tatiana Kayrouz (Ottawa, Ont.), who fired a shot at the Lakers' goalkeeper that fell to Naihin for the winner.

Queen's opened the scoring in the 25th minute when Seema Sakran (Ottawa, Ont.) found the back of the net on a goal assisted by Clare Sun (Ottawa, Ont.).

Cassidy Brooks responded for Nipissing eight minutes later, evening the score.

Both teams traded chances throughout the rest of the first half and most of the second half, until Naihin scored and gave Queen's the one-goal win.

With the win, Queen's advanced to the OUA semifinals where they will take on the Western Mustangs on Wednesday, Nov. 1 in London, Ont.
