MSOC: Timberwolves edge Pronghorns on Bartolillo PK
The University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves knew it wasn’t going to come easy against the visiting Lethbridge Pronghorns, and they were right, edging the Horns 1-nil, Friday September 21st in Prince George, BC.
The fifth-year put it just below the crossbar, giving Lethbridge keeper Nolan French, and giving the Calgary native his fourth of the season.
“We did respond, and did really well to keep the ball and put pressure on them,” said Pronghorns captain Sean Gaiesky. “We just can’t seem to finish right now.”
In the 67th minute, Bartolillo was sent in on a break, chose to chip it over French, but he caught nothing but the crossbar.
The Pronghorns seemed to be energized in the final twenty minutes, pressing the home side, and creating a number of chances as the TWolves looked to absorb. Their best opportunities came off the feet of Alasdair Coyle and Marcus Menzies, but Goodey was up to the task. The first-year starter closed the door the rest of the way, sealing the tight victory for UNBC.
With the victory, the Timberwolves improve to 2-1-2, while the Pronghorns now sit 0-6-1 on the season.
The game also marked the final trip home for Prince George product Gaiesky, who is in his fifth year with the Pronhorns.
