The York Lions scored with less than 10 minutes remaining to defeat the Brock Badgers 2-1 in OUA women's soccer action at Brock Alumni Field on Saturday afternoon.

York's Haley Walsh scored the game-winning during a goalmouth scramble in the 82nd minute. The Lions haven't lost a match since their season opener against Guelph.

"We know that we're not going to get a floodgate of opportunities handed to us in games, so we need to do a better job of capitalizing on our chances," said head coach Lucio Ianiero.

York outshot Brock 21-9 as Badgers goalkeeper Marilena Spagnolo made 10 saves.

After a scoreless first half, Lions midfielder Kalifornia Mitchell opened the scoring early in the second.

Brock replied when Sydney Sica of Niagara Falls, Ont drove to the net and scored by banging home a rebound.

"Syd has been doing a tremendous job for us as the lone striker in this formation," said Ianiero. "She holds up the ball very well. As an experienced player, we rely on her soccer knowledge and experience. She's a great target person for us, so we look for her feet. Sydney makes a lot of smart runs, even without the ball, which penetrates teams' defences."

Up next, the Badgers (4-3-3) host the Guelph Gryphons on Friday, Oct. 11 at 1 p.m.
