TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. — At Stade CAPS on Friday, Poppy Honeybone converted a penalty kick in the 71st minute to give the McGill Martlets a 2-1 win over the UQTR Patriotes in RSEQ women's soccer.
The win evened McGill's record at 1-1-0. UQTR fell to 0-1-0 with the loss in its season opener. The Martlets led 1-0 at halftime, and the teams traded penalty-kick goals in the second half. McGill scored on both of its shots on target.
Zahra Metivier, a master's student in educational leadership from Toronto, opened the scoring in the 16th minute. She finished a setup from senior midfielder Chloe Renaud, who had received a tip pass from rookie midfielder Harper Nelson. Metivier, a first-year transfer who played four seasons at Bishop's, took two of McGill's four shots.
The Patriotes equalized in the 61st minute when Celine Deraedt scored from the penalty spot. McGill goalkeeper Ann-Stephanie Fortin guessed the wrong way as Deraedt fired a shot to the right. Deraedt, a midfielder, took three of her team's four shots and had its only shot on goal.
The tie lasted just over 10 minutes.
Honeybone, a biochemistry senior from Seattle, Wash., restored McGill's lead in the 71st minute. She converted a penalty kick with a rocket to the right, past the outstretched hands of goalkeeper Kayla Beetz, for her first goal of the campaign. The goal stood as the winner as neither side scored again.
