Ridgebacks finish the regular season without a loss

NORTH BAY, Ont. – The No. 2 ranked UOIT women's soccer team finished up their 2017 regular season without suffering a loss after beating the Nipissing Lakers 5-1 on Sunday afternoon.

The defending OUA champions finished conference play with a 14-0-2 record, setting program highs for points (44) and wins (14) in a season. Ottawa and York in 2015 were the last schools in the OUA to go through the regular season without a loss.
 
UOIT is now in line to host an OUA quarter-final match that will take place at the Oshawa Civic on either Saturday or Sunday. Their opponent will be determined after the conclusion of the first round of the playoffs that will take place midweek with Ottawa hosting Toronto and Laurentian hosting Ryerson.
 
Coming off a year where the Ridgebacks won the OUA championship and had four starters graduating, head coach Peyvand Mossavat wasn't expecting to have the success that they have had so far this season.
 
"The reality is that we thought it would be a transition year with a lot of rookies on the field and for them to perform the way they did is incredible," said Mossavat. "We are also quite excited for the seniors to be able to accomplish another program first in finishing the regular season without a loss. We are hoping to carry this momentum into the playoffs and perform well in order to get back to nationals."
 
In Sunday's game against Nipissing, UOIT got off to a quick start with Cassandra Sribny (Pickering, Ont.) scoring goals in the second and ninth minute. Andrea Young of Nipissing would get one back in the 18th minute, but Taijah Henderson (Ajax, Ont.) and Shynice Williams (Mississauga, Ont.) would find the back of the net to give UOIT a 4-1 lead at the half.
 
Henderson and Sribny end the year with 10 and nine goals respectively, sitting fourth and ninth in OUA scoring.
 
In the second half, Julia Listro (Toronto, Ont.) would score her first career OUA goal in the 69th minute, drilling the ball off the crossbar and in off a free kick.
 
Victoria Savage (Woodbridge, Ont.) and Olivia Tierney (King City, Ont.) would split time in net for the win. This was Tierney's first appearance in net this season.
 
Last year, UOIT defeated Laurentian 2-0 in the quarter-finals to advance to their second OUA championship in three years.
