Rams Weekend Recap

Posted by stephanie rogers on October 1, 2019 in News

Soccer

Sept. 28 UNBSJ vs Dal AC

Women’s Soccer – Dal AC had one of their strongest games of the season on Saturday defeating UNBSJ 2-1. Jordyn Waines and Sian Rankin both scored for the RAMS who were able to move up a spot in the league rankings.

Men’s Soccer – A tough start to the weekend for the RAMS who lost 6-1 after coming off two strong games (a 2-0 win vs Crandall and 1-0 loss vs MSVU). Austin Nelson scored the lone goal for Dal AC.

Sept. 29 – STU vs Dal AC

Women’s Soccer – Dal AC came out strong holding their own against one of the top teams in the ACAA. After being tied 1-1 for most of the game (Sian Rankin scored for the RAMS) the team eventually fell 2-1. This was an entertaining game to watch and the team should be very proud of their effort.

Men’s Soccer – The men followed up a tough game the night before with a phenomenal effort. STU was able to pull away in the end for a 4-1 victory but had to earn a tough victory against a RAMS team determined to pull off an upset. Austin Nelson again scored the lone goal for the home team.

Cross Country – Sept. 29

A rainy forecast quickly cleared up and provided an amazing venue for six teams (MSVU, Holland, USA, Mount A, Dal AC, and Crandall) who enjoyed running the beautiful Cobequid trail.  The Men’s team took home first place with Kieran Thornell continuing his dominant season as the overall winner of the race. The Dal AC Women placed 2nd with Chloe Toombs finishing a strong 4th overall. A special thank-you to Legge Health for providing pre and post race treatment to our athletes, the Bible Hill Recreation Department who allowed us use of the park and Keltie Jones who made a guest appearance this weekend!

DAL AC RAMS - Athletes of the Week:

Women: Chloe Toombs (Cross Country)

Chloe took 2 minutes 19 seconds off her race time from two weeks ago and went from 6th place to 4th  place in the standings.  She was only six seconds behind the 3rd place runner and 21 seconds behind the 2nd place runner.  She is definitely an athlete to watch as we head into the second half of the season.

Men: Ranthom Ndizihiwe (Cross Country)

Ranthom took over 2 minutes off his race time compared to two weeks ago and moved from 13th place to 7th place.  Making him another Ram’s athlete to keep an eye on! This jump helped the RAMS men’s team place first in the DAL AC race.

Week of September 16th

Women’s Soccer

Sept. 14 – DAL AC 0 – UKC 1
Sept. 15 – MSVU 1 – DAL AC 1

Men’s Soccer

Sept. 14 – DAL AC 0 – UKC 1
Sept. 15 – MSVU 4 – DAL AC 0

Both soccer teams battled hard on this opening weekend with the women’s squad pulling out a gutsy tie vs MSVU for the weekends soccer highlight. The game was 1-0 RAMS until the 88th minute when the game was tied up on a penalty kick. Abigail Bonnington scored for the RAMS on a brilliant shot in the 77th minute of play.

The men’s team played strong against UKC with one costly error unfortunately costing them the match. Against MSVU the team put together a solid first half with MSVU breaking through mostly towards the end of the match to eventually win 4-0. Both teams will be practicing hard this week in preparation for their upcoming away games vs Holland College (Sept. 20) and Crandall University (Sept. 21).

Cross Country

The Ram’s Cross Country team made a great showing this past Saturday at their first race of the season hosted by Mount Allison (MTA).  The women’s teams came in second behind MTA with the men missing 2nd by only 1 point.

Kieran Thornell picked up where he left off last year at the championships and came in a strong first place.  James Van de Sande came second for the Rams, 9th overall, and will no doubt pick up the pace in the future. 

For the women, Chloe Toombs crossed first for the Rams at 6th overall.  She was within one minute of the 2nd place runner.  Kim Conrad, KeeRyung Kwun, and Elise Lawerence weren’t that far behind her.

We have some work to do but watch out, here come the RAMS!

The next Cross Country Meet will be hosted here at DAL AC (Start and Finish will occur at Bible Hill Rec Park) on September 29. The Women’s Race will start at 12pm with the Men racing at 1230pm.
