Former Blazer Bounces CMU In First-Ever Indoor Regular Season Match
Kezia Balzer's goal in the 71st minute gave the Red River Rebels a 1-0 victory over CMU on Saturday afternoon in the MCAC's first-ever regular season women's soccer match played indoor at Winnipeg's Soccer North Facility in Seven Oaks.
