TROIS-RIVIERES MUCH THE BEST AT WINDSOR
Saturday - July 14, 2007
Lesage hat-trick
Trois-Rivieres Attak, playing in their inaugural season in the Canadian Soccer League, were very much in the groove with an impressive 5-1 defeat of Windsor Border Stars at Windsor Stadium Saturday night.
Nicolas Lesage, a 27 year old forward with Montreal Impact now playing regularly with the Attak, led the way with a hat-trick for a personal four-goal total in the Trois-Rivieres weekend swing through southern Ontario. Lesage scored in the 2-2 tie with London City on Friday night.
Lesage struck at 12, 41 and 79 minutes in a game the Quebec-based team controlled almost from the kickoff. Attak midfielder Joe Di Buono scored a second goal at the 13th minute and Border Stars struggled to recover from the early 2-0 deficit.
Alex Surprenant contributed for Trois-Rivieres with a goal at 53 minutes for a 4-0 lead before Windsor striker Aaron Byrd scored from the penalty spot at 75 minutes for 4-1 before Lesage hit his third for the 5-1 final.
Trois-Rivieres are seven points clear of second place St. Catharines in the National Conference with a 5-3-3 WLT record for 18 points, while Windsor Border Stars are at 3-6-1 for 10 points.
