Hockey

SFU Hockey won in a shootout 5-4 against first place Trinity Western University (TWU) at home Saturday, October 18. SFU outshot TWU 42-27, and scored three straight goals after surrendering the first goal of the game. TWU battled back to tie the game and take it to a shootout. The Clan are second in the league, sitting at 3-2-0, with one of those losses against TWU the night before.

Women’s Wrestling

SFU’s men’s soccer team defended their way to a 1-0 win over the North Nazarene Crusaders. Captain Jovan Blagojevic scored his 13th goal of the season in the eighth minute, which ended up being the game winner. Callum Whittaker was ejected from the game in the 53rd minute, which forced the team, already under pressure from the Crusaders, to play with one less man. The Clan are now 7-4-2 overall, and 5-3-2 within the conference.

Both teams placed third, with freshman Kylie Jack leading the women’s team, coming in seventh. These tournaments wrapped up the teams’ fall seasons.
