WOLFVILLE – Three separate Capers scored as Cape Breton (5-0-0) topped the Acadia Axemen (1-2-3) 3-1 on Saturday.
Nikoali Scheurenbrand opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, with Acadia holding the nationally ranked squad to just that goal heading into halftime.
Owen Sheppard scored the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute, which was followed by a third Cape Breton goal in the 84th minute by Amadou Bayo.
A late goal by Akuzike Chipudhla for Acadia cut into the Capers lead, but ultimately was too late to mount a comeback in the 86th minute.
