VICTORIA – The UVic Vikes women’s
field hockey team edged out the Alberta Pandas 2 – 1 Sunday
morning to remain undefeated this season.
The Vikes swept the visiting Pandas this weekend to move to 2-0 on the season. Victoria struck first in the 33rd minute as fourth year Katie Bennett slipped the ball past Pandas goaltender Tory Spencer. Midfielder Dani Hennig potted the Vikes second goal of the game off a penalty corner in the 52nd minute.
With scoring opportunities at both ends of the field, the Pandas’ Toni Almhjell was finally able to solve Vikes ‘keeper Kaitlyn Williams in the dying seconds of the game.
The Vikes will look to build on this weekend’s success
when they host the UBC Thunderbirds for back-to-back games on
September 25th and 26th with both starting at 11 a.m. Pacific
Time.

UBC 1 Calgary 0

CALGARY - The UBC Thunderbirds withstood a flurry of second-half scoring opportunities from the University of Calgary Dinos to escape with a 1-0 victory and complete a weekend series sweep Sunday at Hawkings Field.
On an afternoon where both teams were battling the bitter rain and cold in addition to each other, Sarah MacAulay's goal at 37:40 was all the Thunderbirds would need as Bea Francisco posted her first shutout of the season to improve the Thunderbirds to 2-0.
The deficit energized the Dinos as they dominated play
thereafter. Kaitlyn Longworth was a force, wreaking havoc on the
Thunderbirds defence by causing numerous turnovers, which led to
quality scoring chances. In the 58th minute, Keara Chicquen fired a
pass along the goal line that barely eluded Longworth's stick for a
sure goal. Ten minutes later, the Dinos were left looking skyward
once again as Claire Beaton executed nearly the identical pass just
beyond the reach of Penny Cuthbert.
