Red Deer, October 7, 2023 - The Red Deer Polytechnic Queens struck first in their match against the Medicine Hat College Rattlers but the visiting team found the equalizer in the late stages of the first half which ended up being the final goal scored in this Thanksgiving weekend match-up.

Defender Payton Erick (Business Administration) was given the first prime opportunity of the match but was stonewalled by Rattlers goalkeeper Abby Lalach (University Studies). But on the next play down the field goalkeeper Abby Kotyk (Bachelor of Kinesiology) came sliding out and picked up a save on a point-blank chance from the Rattlers.

The Queens would open up the scoring off a set play on a free kick. The ball was sent in from the sidelines and found the head of Erick who put the ball across the net. Forward Isabel Anthony (Open Studies) jumped on the free ball and volleyed it into the back of the net to score her first goal since scoring against Medicine Hat in the first weekend of ACAC action.

Forward Keandra Leslie (University Studies) tried to counter but another big sliding save for Kotyk to keep her team up 1-0.

Nearing the half whistle, Brazilian Maisa Rebello (Business Administration) found the equalizer for the Rattlers. Leslie split the Polytechnics defense and Rebello was off to the races where she made no mistake on her finish.

The second half would come and go with no scoring but not without the lack of chances. Queens Erick had a chance and even beat the goalkeeper on the partial breakaway but her next touch came off her foot and went out of bounds.

As for the Rattlers, their best chance was a soft shot from outside the 18-yard box from Leslie but Kotyk corralled it and kept the Queens tied up at one which ended up being the final score at the end of the 90.

The Rattlers player of the game went to midfield Molly Morris (University Studies) with winger Grace Smith (Bachelor of Business Administration) being awarded the honour for the Queens.

Both teams will be in action tomorrow at noon. The Rattlers will take on the Olds College Broncos and the Queens will welcome the Lethbridge College Kodiaks.
