The X-Women soccer team wrapped up pre-season exhibition play with a road trip to Cape Breton on Monday afternoon. They played to a 1-1 tie with the Capers.

StFX player of the game Stephanie Cameron set up fifth year veteran striker Olivia Zanette to score the lone StFX goal just ten minutes into the game. The 1-0 score held at half-time, but the home team Capers came back to tie the game in the second half.

The X-Women had 7-8 quality scoring chances, including a number of breakaways and a hit post by Cameron. Maris Miller minded the net for StFX.
In earlier exhibition action, the X-Women hosted the Acadia Axewomen on Friday afternoon at Oland Stadium, coming away with a 1-0 victory.
