I look forward to working with my fellow staff, the players and fans in reaching the goals set by the club and embracing the amazing culture here at Spruce Meadows and in Calgary.Ifeanyi Ekwueme, a former Super Eagles midfielder has been announced as the Sporting Director of Nigeria Premier League champions Enyimba FC of Aba by newly appointed Chairman of the club Nwankwo Kanu. Coming here was such an easy decision for me to make, and I cannot wait to work with one of the most exciting goalkeeping units in the country and to get started with our goalkeepers. ![]() “The ambitions of the club align with mine, and I am very proud and grateful to be here working with Cavalry. “I am very excited to begin this new adventure with Cavalry FC,” Davis said. Davis brings immense experience to the club, having previously been the goalkeeping coach for the NCAA’s Virginia Cavaliers women’s soccer team and both the assistant manager and goalie coach of the USL Championship’s Hartford Athletic. The new guy in that gig is Jake Davis, following coaching time with the Houston Dynamo FC Academy. We’re delighted he’s with us, and we look forward to many more appearances for him.” … Cavalry lost goalkeeper coach Jordan Santiago to personal pursuits after being with the club since the inaugural 2019 season. “As a 17-year-old lad playing his pro debut at home, I thought he was terrific against some handy weapons that they had,” Wheeldon said of the former Calgary Foothills FC star. The Calgary native was quick to the ball and didn’t look out of place in the pros despite his age. Next up is another Stampede week home game, kicking off on Saturday against HFX Wanderers FC (4-7-3) at ATCO Field (2 p.m., OneSoccer, OneSoccer.ca).ĭefender Michael Harms acquitted himself well in his first start at ATCO Field. At the end of the day, it wasn’t good enough from us. “Last time we saw them, they made it very difficult for us. “We knew it was going to be a difficult game against Ottawa,” Daley added. The loss kept the third-place Cavs - now 5-3-6 - from climbing closer to top-spot Pacific FC (7-3-4), while the decision drew Ottleti - now 5-6-3 - within three points of Cavalry’s 21. Last year, I learned a lot from this team and the coaches.” “I was very happy to be here (last year), but sorry, but I needed to score a goal. “I’ve waited for this (goal) for a long-time, since last year and this year, too,” said 18-year-old Assi, whose first pro season came with Cavalry last year, also on loan from FC Montreal. Then in the 86th minute, the Ottawa club sealed it when former Cavs player Jean-Aniel Assi - on loan from Major League Soccer’s FC Montreal - scored his first pro goal, running alone onto a pass across the top of the box from Sam Salter, who had picked up another throw-in that Chima mishandled and raced downfield drawing three defenders his way. Up stepped Ottleti superstar Ollie Bassett for the penalty kick and he converted his third freebee in as many games. Malcolm raced to get to a loose ball behind the defence, only to be tripped up in the box by a charging Carducci. ![]() The first came in the 82nd minute with a throw-in by the hosts that led to a ball getting behind Udoka Chima. “You can play football very many different ways and that’s a very hard way to play against. “They sit deep behind the ball and they love to hit us on the counter,” Cavalry midfielder Jesse Daley said. They’ve been brilliant up until this point.”Īnd Ottawa? Well … that team does have a way of frustrating offences. The reality is our attacking prowess wasn’t what it has been. They’ve sat and parked the bus, but we’ve chose to take that extra touch. “You look … we’ve got some very good attackers as you’ve seen this year. “Exactly, and that’s what challenged our lads,” Wheeldon continued. In fact, the team that scored two goals in each of three victories coming into this one never even got a shot directed at the goal, where Atlético Ottawa goalkeeper Nathan Ingham did little work to get the shutout.
