Vikes Williams shuts out Dinos weekend

VICTORIA – UVic Vikes women’s field hockey goalie Kaitlyn Williams capped off an impressive weekend on Sunday morning holding the Calgary Dinos scoreless in a 0-0 draw.

Both ‘keepers looked solid in net shutting down offensive surges and recorded shutouts.

A close call came for the Vikes in the first half when it appeared as though the visitors had broken the deadlock. The goal was called back however, due to the assist coming from a Calgary player’s foot.

The Vikes finish off the weekend series unbeaten at 1-0-1 against the Dinos and are now 2-2-2 this season.

Vikes coach Lynne Beecroft pointed out that her side still has some work to do but have progressed in recent weeks. “This team is a really hard working group and I think they’ll be up for the challenge before we get to nationals.”

The Vikes won’t be doing any traveling this week as they welcome the third place Alberta Pandas next weekend. The games are scheduled for 11am on UVic’s turf field.
