...Endings = New beginnings

Okay so ... let's take it a week back. Pandas rugby faced Calgary in a battle in the snow, which I might add, was FREAKIN' cold. We won 71-0. Players of the game were Forward - Prop Stacie Becker... (can I just take credit for giving a pass which led to her scoring? No? Okay I'll be quiet)... and Britt "Killer" Repchuk. We trekked it to the land of Pronghorns, and ended up playing on turf - losing 22-7. It felt like a good game, also certain things did not go as planned. We hosted Can-west in Sherwood Park this past weekend, beating UBC in a tough game.. 19-15. In the Final, we fell one man short, 14 on 15... losing 30-0 after spending 5 minutes at their try line, failing to score before half time. Honorable mention for that game goes to Marlene "Crusher" Nedved in the backs and Carmen Hobbs in the forwards. Can West Allstars were:
- Allison "Pun" Lamoureaux - Prop
- Annika Eriksson - Scrum half
- Karlee "Rocket" Carbert - Full back

Field Hockey = Took a pounding against UBC and faced Calgary this passed weekend. Morchie ended up scoring two goals in Saturday's game, beating Calgary 2-0. Unfortunately, in Sunday's game, after suspicious reffing the Pandas lost in the last 5 seconds, 1-0. The Pandas qualify to go to Nationals after Halloween in Victoria... and I'll be there! GO PANDAS!

Pandas Volleyball = Grabs a win over Calgary at their home opener. Good job ladies! I was watching,...it was close for most part, but I think our good looks helped...

Bears Volleyball= Say what? Loss to Calgary? How so? ... hoping to see some anger on court when they face the Wolfpack. I was grateful to have a quick peak at this game as well.

Soccer Pandas: Had an extravagant 9-0 win over Regina, and a 1-0 loss to UBC, 3-0 loss to TWU.
Soccer Bears: Saw two ties against Calgary/Lethbridge, and losses to UBC 1-0 and TWU 1-0.
Both teams are shy of a Top 10 rating in CIS, placing at a 4th spot in Can-West... the Can-west Final Four is coming up - both teams face Sask this coming weekend.

Football: The Bears saw a win and a loss in the last two weeks. Regina 33-22 W, and Saskatchewan 39-03 L. This coming weekend is going to be THE WEEKEND, to determine whether the boys can stay alive... see if you make sense of this:

"Alberta and the Regina Rams,....are tied for the final playoff spot, while the Bisons are already in. What that means is that any Regina loss gives the Bears the final spot, regardless of the Bears-Dinos game, but if Manitoba loses while Alberta and Regina win, the Bears are out due to tie-breaking procedures. In this situation, Regina would claim the third-place berth via point differential versus the Bisons and Bears, and then Manitoba would get the fourth-place berth due to head-to-head match-up superiority over Alberta" - I'm confused...???

The following players are in their final season of eligibility: Symon Pfau (DB), Jeff Wollin (RB) as well as Jozzy and Bass are all in their final season of eligibility.

Pandas Hockey - Holla! Girls are rockin' the beats ya'll...okay okay. Good win over Manitoba... 6-1, 4-1 and a sweep over the Huskies 2-1, 3-2... Fairfield I hope you feel better soon.

Bears Hockey - Skated over Sask! Saw a nice little fight the one night... their goalie went nuts! At one point our penalty box was so full I couldn't keep track. We still managed to pull out the two wins. Lookin' good no. 10!

Golf is done has ended as well..... for now.

Wrestling: Katherine Martin wins gold at the Pan-Am Games in Mexico in the 72 kg weight category. The Bears/Pandas went down to Calgary this past weekend. Ring worm anyone? (jk)

The Cross Country Stewart Cup takes place this weekend at Hawrelak Park. Let's support! Shout out to Georgette: She has been selected as part of the coaching staff for the 2009 IAAF track and field World Youth Championships, July 8-12, in Bressanone/Brixen, Italy. Congrats!
