One of the best ways to show you belong in sports is by knocking off the top dog. The U of M Bisons men’s hockey team did just that on the weekend against the Canada West leading University of Calgary Dinos.
After a split series to open the season, the U of M Bisons women’s soccer team headed to British Columbia looking to pick up some valuable points in the standings. Instead, after a pair of losses, the herd came home empty handed.
Manitoba finished 12th for saves in Canada West with 53, showing that strong defensive play also had a big impact. But although the old adage says “defence wins championships,” the objective of the game is still to outscore your opponent. Thankfully for the herd, it has just the pieces required to take the club to the next level.
Under the lights on a pair of cool September nights the U of M Bisons women’s soccer team kicked off the 2019 Canada West soccer season with a split against a pair of Saskatchewan-based opponents.
