Paced by a 29th minute goal from Alexandra Morin-Boucher, the McGill women’s soccer team claimed the exhibition Old Four tournament crown in Kingston this past weekend. Morin-Boucher’s goal and a strong performance from rookie keeper Valérie Labbé helped the Martlets coast to a 1-0 road victory over the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.

“Winning this tournament showed our team has a lot of potential,” said Marc Mounicot, head coach of the Martlets. “We are a young squad with only one fourth-year player and this tournament really allowed us to test out all of players and see the depth of our squad.”

The victory was the Martlets’ fifth in a row, and their strong pre-season should boost their confidence as they prepare to build on a QSSF finals appearance last season.

The Martlets’ regular season opener will be at Molson Stadium on September 10 against the Sherbrooke Vert et Or. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m.
