Box Score VICTORIA - For the second-straight game, one team suffered a heart-breaking loss in stoppage time. Unfortunately, this time it was the University of Victoria Vikes on the losing side.

Two days removed from Presley Rangel's late game heroics, the Vikes suffered an identical defeat by the University of Montreal Carabins. The Vikes dropped their final game at the U SPORTS national championship 1-0 on Sunday morning at Centennial Stadium.
 
A bouncing strike from outside the 18-yard box by Megane Sauve snuck past fifth-year Puck Louwes in stoppage time.
 
"It's quite nice to finish the tourney with a good result. We pushed to get a goal and Meagane did well to finish one late like that," said Carabins defender Rose-Marie Julien.
 
For the Vikes, it was only their second goal allowed of the tournament.
 
"I think we tried to stay composed on the back line and played our game," said Kara Skirzyk, who was named the Nike Player of the Game.

The low-scoring affair wasn't an accurate result of how many opportunities each squad had.

Louwes got a little lucky in the 11^th minute after she couldn't handle a strike from Erika Bastien. Louwes fumbled the ball right onto the boot of Katya Houpert by the right goal post. The France native tried to tap it into the net, but the ball rolled off her foot and onto the outside of the net.
 
Scoreless in the 51^st minute, Carabins defender Chole Decelles was issued a yellow card for a reckless tackle just outside her own 18-yard box. Vikes fifth-year defender Rachel Baird took the free kick and slammed it off the crossbar. The ball bounced around for a few minutes until the Carabins finally cleared it from the danger zone.
 
Seven minutes later, the one of the four new subs to start the second half for the Vikes nearly set up the game's first goal.
 
Graduating fourth-year forward Natalie Cavallin used her body to shield the ball from a pair of Carabin defenders. Once she got an opening, she crossed one into the box for Trinity Kettyls, who attempted a diving header. Catherine Langelier wasn't caught off guard and made the save for the Carabins.
 
Presley Rangel nearly recorded her second goal in as many games for the Vikes when she fired a scattered corner piece just to the left of the top corner in the 65^th minute.
 
Romy Longpre nearly netted her first snipe of the tournament for the Carabins in the 75^th minute. She spun and fired from 15 yards out but struck the right goal post.
 
Two minutes later, Brea Christie took a feed from Emma Skalik down the right flank. Christie cranked one high, but Langelier got her left hand on it to deflect it out of play.
 
The Vikes enter off-season mode now. They represented the Canada West well this week. They will now watch two Canada West teams, the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and the University of Calgary Dinos, compete in the gold medal game.
