OLDS, Alta. - The Olds College Broncos men's soccer team broke into the win column for the first time in 2022, defeating the Ambrose University Lions 2-0 at Richardson Pioneer Field on Saturday.

Dylan Campbell made four saves to earn his first ACAC clean sheet for the Broncos (1-1-2) and pick up Player of the Game honours, while Connor Klassen also made four saves in a losing effort for the Lions (0-3-0).

The match was evenly contested through the first half, but the Broncos took a 1-0 lead into halftime courtesy of Valentin Kirchner's third goal of the season in the 43rd minute.

From there, both teams had opportunities, but an own goal from the Lions in the 90th minute put the Broncos up to stay.

For the Lions, Thuok Yat Cheek earned Player of the Game recognition.

The Broncos get an additional day of rest before welcoming the Red Deer Polytechnic Kings to Olds on Oct. 1 for a 2 p.m. kickoff, while the Lions will head back to Calgary to battle the SAIT Trojans tomorrow at 2 p.m.
