The 1997 McGill men's soccer squad has been selected in the team category and is among a half-dozen 2011 new additions to the McGill Sports Hall of Fame.
听
The Redmen overcame all odds to capture an unexpected national championship in what was thought to be a rebuilding season, marking the school's first CIAU title in any sport over the previous decade.
听
The Redmen finished first in the Quebec conference with a 6-2-2 regular season record and posted a 10-6-6 record overall, en route to capturing the QSSF title and the CIAU's Sam Davidson trophy.
听
In the CIAU gold medal match at Halifax, McGill overcame the loss of Marc Labrom, an all-Canadian defender, to a red card only four听 minutes after the opening whistle. They played air-tight defence against heavily-favoured UBC and came away with a 1-0 victory, after a 5-4 decision on penalty kicks. Co-captain and all-Canadian Marc Mounicot tied the shootout round at 4-4 and Peter Bryant netted the decisive marker with his only goal of the season.
听
Mounicot, who shared the conference scoring lead, was voted as the league's player of the year and won the Forbes trophy as McGill's male athlete of the year.
听
Pat Raimondo earned conference coach-of-the-year honours and the team featured five conference all-stars, including Labrom, Mounicot, Kevin McConnell and goalkeeper Jason Forsyth, who was named CIS tourney MVP and later won the Uldis Auders trophy winner as McGill's top sophomore student-athlete.
