MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat College Rattlers got an introduction to one of the newest schools to enter the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association on Saturday.

Returning to Rattlers Field after a pair of wins on Friday night in Calgary against the Ambrose University Lions, the Rattlers men’s and women’s soccer teams played exhibition games against the newly formed Canadian Mennonite University Blazers.

Grace Porter had the lone goal for the MHC women in a 1-1 draw with the Blazers, while the Rattlers men’s team also played to a 1-1 score in the late game.

Abdou Raouf Mohamed scored for the Rattlers on Saturday, picking up his seventh goal in just his last three games.

Even with Saturday’s exhibition games factored in, the Rattlers soccer teams have lost just once in eight combined games dating back to the season openers on September 7.
