EDMONTON – Despite 10 shots on goal, and a handful of scoring chances, the Pandas can't get one past the MacEwan Griffins. Saturday afternoon's 1-0 loss was the second shutout at the hands of the Griffins this season. 

MacEwan Griffin Hannah Supina dashed down the right side in the 15^th minute and buried a far-side blast for the only goal of the contest. The former U SPORTS All-Rookie team member spent the rest of her 90-minute shift dominating from the fullback position as the Griffins consistently repelled the Pandas.

Both Georgia Tansley and Wanda Czebreszuk – the Alberta Team MVP – were difference-makers for the Pandas, regularly sending in dangerous crosses and forcing MacEwan to concede seven corner-kicks.

But most of the critical chances in the game were from the Griffins, none more serious than Salma Kamel's point-blank 48^th-minute blast from the middle of the box that beat Alberta goalkeeper Ashley Turner, but not Cara Lang defending on the line.

In the 60^th minute, Anna McPhee's long-range blast went off the crossbar, the keeper and dropped down in to the box where Kaylin Hermanutz deposited it into the open net … only to be called offside.

Maya Morrell hit a post in the 63^rd minute and the second goal never did come for the Griffins.

With the win, the Griffins improve to 4-1-0 on the season, further solidifying their hold on second place in the Central Division after dropping the Pandas to 2-3-0.

Bianca Castillo made five saves for the Griffins in earning her third shutout of the season, while Turner made five stops for the Pandas. MacEwan outshot Alberta 18-10 in the contest.

The teams will meet for the third time this season in a rematch on Sunday (12 p.m., Clareview Field, Canada West TV presented by Co-op).
