— Level through 79 minutes, it was increasingly clear that a single goal was likely to decide the 2019 U Sports women’s soccer national championship title. And the UBC Thunderbirds were beneficiaries of a fortunate bounce as they defeated the University of Calgary Dinos 1-0 Sunday at Centennial Stadium. They gave up just nine goals in 19 conference and post-season matches, with only two coming in the five playoff fixtures. Full credit to UBC — they’re a good team, good program, good coach … and they’re national champions for a reason. MacDonald was searching for a touch by Taylor Wells near the back post, but Emily Moore sprung into action to intercept the feed.
