The end of an era (or winning streak) - same thing.

Last Saturday, we played against the Montreal Carabins for the second time this season and fell short to them 3-2. This marks our first RESQ (Quebec league) loss dating back to February 2007. Something like 107 consecutive wins. It seems like more people heard of our loss than the fact that we've won the National Championship 3 times in the last 4 years (including last year). What makes it even stranger is that it was our first home game (in three years) that my dad has missed... I hope he gets the hint and doesn't miss another again.
As you can probably imagine, I dont really want to get into the details about the game, so if you want you can read up on it on the Mcgill Athletics website.

Our team did a great job at dealing with the adversity and 24hours after the loss we came together and blanked Carleton University 3-0. Goals coming from Ton-That, Heydra, and Bettez - who was also named player of the game. We out-shot the ravens 49-21 (props to their goalie for making a million saves, but also to Charlie for another career shutout!!) Everyone played with a lot of grit, and passion. And so a new streak begins...
