WOLFVILLE, N.S. (U Sports) - Six days ago it was a different story as the Trinity Western Spartans eliminated the Saskatchewan Huskies from gold medal play with a 2-0 win in Canada West semifinal matchup. This time the Huskies captured a consolation semifinal win over the Spartans, but it wasn't easy.

Following a hard fought 0-0 tie after regulation time, the game followed overtime format for consolation games and headed straight into penalty kicks. 

The result was an entertaining keeper versus keeper kickoff, after five kicks were not enough to settle the right to move onward to the consolation final. 

The Huskies celebrated an eventual 5-4 win over the Spartans - the first time the Saskatchewan Huskies have defeated Trinity Western in conference and U Sports play. 

A matchup that saw little offensive domination by either team, only recorded three shots on goal in total of which all were posted by the Spartans.

Ninety minutes of play offered no solid scoring opportunities and the final outcome was settled by the sure foot of Huskies keeper Kyleigh Vause (Calgary, Alta.) who scored on her attempt and also made a key save. 

"This was actually the first time doing penalty kicks in my soccer career. It's kind of fun because we always practice it and it was fun to actually score," commented Vause, who was named the Adidas Player of the Game. 

"Trinity is our rival back home and it's the first time we have every beaten them in school history which is huge," added Vause.

While the loss marked a low for the Spartans who are routinely in medal rounds of national championships, the Huskies revelled in the win.

"We definitely wanted to beat them since it is our first time at nationals," said Vause as she joined her teammates in celebration.

The Huskies will move on to the consolation final, scheduled for Saturday, November 12 at noon against the winner of the second consolation semifinal between StFX and Acadia.
