And the snows here....

This past weeks recap features lots of turkey, snow and midterms.

Field hockey vs UVIC:

We saw a 0-0 tie and a 0-1 loss for the Pandas as they traveled to UVIC...staying in third place. J.T. (Jackie Trautman) had a good 5-goal streak and we're hoping she'll give us another gun-show against UBC and Calgary in the weeks to come. Honorable mention goes to Tory Spencer - Pandas Goalie; she's fierce and she's loud, watch out!

Pandas Volleyball Pre-season:

My favourite tall individuals with awesome smooth skin, travelled to Canmore if I'm not mistaken, and played UofC. They ended up with a frustrating loss on the first day 3-0, and a 3-1 win the next day. All I can say is..... "No one likes the Dinos". I'm looking forward to the Pandas Home Opener October 23rd/24th!! We'll get the swim team out with body paint!

Just a quick mention to the Bears Volleyball - so far they have been on a good winning streak.... Good show boys! Good show! Can-am is THIS weekend...like right now.

Golfers recap:

Word on the street..... Jen McLean - a very colorful character indeed, and Mike Stepaniuk are the top golfers for the bears/Pandas Golf Teams. Another thing I've heard, is that the Bears are having a bit of a tough go compared to the women, but we're hoping that will change (hint: Call Tiger Woods).

Men's hockey is underway....

They had a bit of a 3-2 upset in a shootout against Calgary but managed to drown the Dinos 9-2. Good job boys! The list for goal scorers goes as follows:
- Ian McDonald (2)
- Chad Klassen
- Mark Ashton
- Derek Ryan
- Reade Wolansky
- Brian Woolger
- Mike MacAngus
- Jesse Gimblett

Phew!

and...therefore, Reade Wolansky is the Canada West Male Athlete of the Week!

Pandas Hockey:

Leah Copeland was this week's Hudsons Athlete of the Week. Alana Cabana scored 3 goals against Regina in their double take over Thanksgiving. We'll see how the do for the Manitoba re-match this weekend, although I just heard they are winning 2-0. (Go Vinge!)

Crosscountry - Honorable mention to Jamie Weikum (Top finisher in the Huskie Open earlier in October) and Paula Findley (For her gold medal win in the women's under-23 event at the world triathlon championships back in September)
