Brent Forster - RDC

Calgary, AB - The Red Deer College Kings recorded two goals in the opening half and added three in the final 45 minutes, rolling to a 5-0 road victory over the Ambrose University Lions. 

After some early pressure, the RDC Kings eventually capitalized in the 18th minute. Midfielder Pedro Humberto Mourao Neto finished off a cross from Hugo Janssen, beating Lions goalkeeper Matthew Stacey, who was busy on the afternoon. About 11 minutes later, the Kings went up by a pair. Sylvan Lake's Dagan Slimmon fired a hard strike past Stacey for a two goal cushion. Neto had the lone assist.
