NORTH BAY, Ont. – A day after being eliminated from postseason contention, the Ryerson Rams women's soccer team put together one of their best offensive performances of the season, defeating the Nipissing Lakers 4-1 to close the season.

BOXSCORE

The win is the sixth of the season for the Rams which ties the program record from 2011 for most wins in a season.

“Even with our playoff hopes dashed, this was an important game for us and none more so than our seniors. Of the six wins, we accomplished two great feats against nationally ranked Queen's and UOIT. We can be proud of the finish to our season today and it leaves great energy and enthusiasm for next year,” said head coach Kevin Souter following the game.

Alex Rodkin (Whitby, Ont.) opened the scoring for Ryerson in just the eighth minute of play. The goal was Rodkin's seventh of the season which is the most since Kendra Welham also scored seven for the Rams in 2011.

Nipissing tied the game in the 22nd minute when Sara Dorval converted a penalty kick and the score stayed tied into halftime.

The Rams got the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute off the foot of Soraya El-houni (Toronto) before adding insurance markers in the 82nd minute from Hanna Park (Markham, Ont.) and 90th minute from Amy Tahmizian (Aurora, Ont.).

Ryerson finishes the season with a 6-9-1 record, good for seventh place and just one point shy of the final playoff berth.
