The Mariners scored a 3-2 victory over the University of King’s College Blue Devils on Thursday to advance to a men’s bronze medal semi-final in Windsor Ontario.
After the Blue Devils opened the scoring in the first half, the Mariners came back to tie it in the 39th minute when Malcolm Carey scored his first of the championship.
Both teams went back and forth until the Blue Devils took the lead again at 2-1 in the second half. However, that didn’t last long when Vasilios Bagiopoulos tied it again, this time with his first of the tournament in the 61st minute.
He wasn’t done yet either, the Mariners leading scorer tallied the eventual game winner in the 82nd minute propelling his club to the victory. He was named the Player of the Game.
They face the host Saints, a team that had their hopes of a national gold dashed by the Douglas Royals on Friday when they beat them 1-0. The Saints move over to the bronze medal side of the bracket with the loss despite their 3-1 victory on Wednesday over the Keyano Huskies.
The winner will advance to the bronze medal game on Saturday, while the loser will earn one more game on Saturday morning.
