The University of Calgary men’s soccer team is looking for a few good men. Well, maybe just one. Head Coach Andy Gibbs is choosing a new captain this week and he’s looking for more than just a good player. “Maradonna’s a good player–but would you follow Maradonna? No, he’s an idiot,” said Gibbs in jest.… Continue reading Young and manly, but leaderless

Perhaps the University of Calgary men’s soccer team was still recovering from their big “cabaret” when they went out on the road last weekend. The men couldn’t even manage to score.

Talent With fewer newcomers than last year, this team was still on the young side. However, they didn’t lack talent. They had many consistent contributors who shone on some days and blended in on others. The stats from the regular season didn’t show this team’s true potential. Effort Scrappy, indeed. That shows heart. When they… Continue reading Report Card: Men’s Soccer

This final week of regular season soccer competition was full of Pronghorns and Pandas and Dinos, oh my! A Pronghorn, more commonly called an antelope, uses its sharp vision to see danger and its superior agility to run away from it. The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns were ecologically disappointing this past weekend. They neither saw… Continue reading Thank the Lord we’re hosting

The Dinos men’s soccer team can’t seem to win for trying.

The men’s soccer game on Sat., Sept. 25 against the University of British Columbia T-Birds was “eerily similar” to previous games this season. The Dinos must like it from behind, because they spent most of the game catching up to the T-Birds. The first goal came from a blatantly offside Luke Sandilands of UBC. The… Continue reading Soccersaurs settle for a tie

Huskies’ keeper Jonathon Neufeld was… Continue reading Lovers or fighters?
