It took everything they had to withstand the onlsaught by Trinity, who dominated the match and outshot the Crusaders 27-3. But less than half of those shots were even on target, as the Crusaders defense forced the Tigers to take their chances from low scoring areas. Kaitlyn Vess was superb in goal as well, when called upon, making eight saves today. The Tigers finally broke through with the only goal of the match in the 80th minute and were able to see out the 1-0 win.
The Crusaders are now 7-4 overall on the year and 2-1 in conference.
