Aquinas comeback runs out of time Continued from page 28 29 · Friday, June 1, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com two quick tries in the latter part of the second half, and then continued to battle until the final whistle. "We have some great athletes," he said. "We've had great tackling all year. They're willing to make the big hits. And those goal-line stands today, considering how hot it is, that's so physically exhausting but they just dug in their heels. That's a credit to their character." After falling behind 5-0, Aquinas tied the game when Cvetas broke free, eluded a pair of opponents and then outraced the last player with a chance to bring her down to touch the ball down behind the posts. The teams went into the half tied but Georgetown put the pressure on throughout the early part of the second half. The Rebels finally found their way across the try line and quickly added another, looking to have put the game away, leading by 12 with eight minutes to play. Aquinas responded, though. After threatening for a few minutes, Vanessa Severin finally punched through into the corner. That set up a tough, bad-angle conversion attempt for Bridgette Ribau. She delivered a strong kick that bounced straight up off the crossbar just inside the far upright before falling behind the bar, cutting the lead to five and giving her team hope. Aquinas continued to apply pressure over the final four minutes but simply ran out of time. SUNDAY, JUNE 3 NOON-5:00 PM BURLINGTON MALL T G TIO A N R I T L S BUR REGI f r o n i T!
