RED DEER, ALTA., (Oct. 13, 2018) — The SAIT Trojans women's soccer team pulled out a big win on the road against the Red Deer College Queens Saturday afternoon.

In a game that featured the top two teams in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) South Division, the Trojans came out with the 4-2 victory to not only sweep the season series with the Queens, but remain undefeated at 8-0.

"We had a lot of opportunities, and we moved the ball really well, which is nice to see," said Trojans head coach, John Talerico. "A couple of disappointing goals, but it can happen. What's important was how we reacted after that and we were very positive."

Ten minutes later SAIT's Deanna Kuan (3^rd year, Edmonton, Alta., Business Administration) fired one past the goaltender to tie the game 1-1.
