Sept. 9 @ Université Laval

Our Bishop’s women’s soccer team travelled to Québec City to play Université Laval for their fourth game of the season. The last time these two teams played against each other was in October of 2021.

The team knew Laval would be a hard team to beat, as they have yet to win a game against them.

Although junior Ashley Pitcher had exceptional goalkeeping in the second half of the game, the Gaiters could not find the back of the net and travelled back to Lennoxville with a 3-0 loss.

Sept. 16 vs Université de Montréal

The following Friday, the soccer team welcomed Université de Montréal to Coulter Field for a competitive game against their rivals.

Although the Gaiters had lots of shots on net, a penalty kick from the Carabins kept Université de Montréal in the lead and led to a 2-0 win over Bishop’s.

Freshman defender Marijke Meindertsma took home MVP of the game, and the Gaiters will be back in Montréal on Oct. 14 for another matchup against the Carabins.

Sept. 18 @ Université de Sherbrooke

The women’s soccer team then visited the local Université de Sherbrooke Vert-et-Or team, who they have consistently won against since the 2019 season.

Trailing 1-0 after halftime, senior Grace Kunz got past the Sherbrooke goalkeeper to tie the game up in the second half. Both teams walked away with a 1-1 tie.

Sept. 23 vs Université du Québec à Montréal

The soccer team hosted Université du Québec à Montréal on Sept. 23 at 6 p.m., looking to get their first win of the season. Bishop’s scored early in the game, but a goal from UQAM in the 89th minute led to another 1-1 draw.
