Fourth-year striker Aisha Lewis scored in the 56th minute to lead the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over the Nipissing Lakers on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 7) at Varsity Centre.
 
With the win, the Blues improve to 1-2-0, while the Lakers sit even at 1-1-1 in the OUA East division.
 
After a scoreless first half, Lewis (Mississauga) notched her second goal of the season, sending a hard shot past Lakers goalkeeper Carlee Bennard (Burlington, Ont.) and into the bottom right corner of the net.
 
The Blues dominated the match, outshooting Nipissing 13-4. Lewis registered four of Toronto's 13 shots, with sophomore striker Christine Zwimpfer (North Vancouver) adding three on the day.
 
Third-year goalkeeper Sara Petrucci of Bolton made four saves in the shut out victory.
