Live: AUS Women's Semi-final: Dalhousie Tigers v. Cape Breton Capers

[Note: the internet connection at Raymond Field failed minutes into this game. I will post highlights and a wrap-up later tonight.]

It's potentially the best match-up of the women's soccer season: two finalists who should have played each other in last year's final but for both of them failing at the semi-final hurdle. This year, only one can make the final. Find out which at 1:30pm.


As usual, if you're reading on Haligonia.ca, you will not see the viewer window. Use the links at the bottom of the page to find a window that does work. But while you're on Haligonia, check out the forums where we have a women's playoffs discussion ongoing, among other tantalizing topics.

The blog is after the jump.

Live: AUS Women's Semi-final: UPEI Panthers v. Saint Mary's Huskies

After a strange and thrilling win yesterday, the Huskies take to the field again to try and keep their roll alive against the powerful first seed UPEI Panthers. The blog will start up for some pre-game notes at 1:30pm. Kick-off is at 2:00.

The blog is after the jump unless you're reading on Haligonia.ca, in which case the great ghosts of cyberspace have stolen your viewing window and made off with it to a highly abstract realm where you cannot go with a physical body. You'll see some links at the bottom of the post. Any of those should have the blog. While you're on Haligonia, head over to the forums and sound off on the tournament in the tournament discussion thread.

AUS Quarterfinal Wrap-up: Windy goals star for Saint Mary's, Cape Breton

[A note on the highlight pack: this is my first time doing Flipcam work and my first time narrating highlights. I threw this together in two hours after the game. So don't tear me to pieces in the comments. I sound tired 'cause I am.]

It was as dramatic as an AUS championship should be. Skill, physicality, luck, and desperation were all on healthy display Friday in Wolfville along with a good dose of legendary Nova Scotian weather.

"It was really wet," said Saint Marys' Jennifer Holland.

The Saint Mary's Huskies were outplayed for 90 minutes but overcame a penalty kick goal and beat the St. FX X-Women 2 - 1.

Lindsay Millet, who handled the ball in her own area to give St. FX the penalty, scored in the dying seconds of the match after a two-on-one break with Kelly Burgess.
