I&#8217;m proud of what they&#8217;ve done for the program. Their legacy will be an important one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lethbridge opened the scoring early as Will Hughes fired a free kick over the Dinos&#8217; wall and past goalkeeper <a href=\"https:\/\/godinos.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/hany-shafie\/16470\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"16470\" target=\"_blank\">Hany Shafie<\/a> in the fifth minute. The Pronghorns nearly doubled their lead soon after, but Shafie came up with a key stop on Kai Sakaguchi to keep it a one-goal game.<\/p>\n<p>Calgary pressed for an equalizer throughout the first half and found it in the 36th minute. Off a corner from <a href=\"https:\/\/godinos.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/owen-antoniuk\/16453\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"16453\" target=\"_blank\">Owen Antoniuk<\/a>, the ball bounced inside the box before a Lethbridge defender&#8217;s clearance popped straight up. It fell to Dinos&#8217; senior defender <a href=\"https:\/\/godinos.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/milan-ponjevic\/16468\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"16468\" target=\"_blank\">Milan Ponjevic<\/a>, who headed it home to level the match at 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Dinos continued to push in the second half, generating several quality chances and outshooting the Pronghorns 15-2, but couldn&#8217;t find a breakthrough. Lethbridge&#8217;s back line held firm under sustained pressure, while Calgary&#8217;s defence contained the Pronghorns&#8217; limited counterattacks.<\/p>\n<p>A late red card left the visitors down a player for the final 13 minutes, but Calgary couldn&#8217;t capitalize despite controlling possession and shots on goal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll keep training and working on the things we know we do well,&#8221; Mifflin said. &#8220;We just need to get healthy. That&#8217;s the most important thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the result, Calgary moves to 7-5-1, while Lethbridge goes to 4-3-3.<\/p>\n<p>The Dinos now have a week off before facing the Mount Royal Cougars on Oct. 18. The Pronghorns will travel to face the Saskatchewan Huskies on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<p>-UC-<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Mount Royal 10\/18\/2025 | 3:00 PM &#13; Oct. 18 (Sat) \/ 3:00&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-192184","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
