CALGARY – The UVic Vikes women's field hockey team swept the Calgary Dinos this weekend with back-to-back shutouts winning 2-0 Sunday afternoon at Hawkings Field.

The Vikes won their second game in as many days on goals from #Perri Espeseth# and #Gillian Wright#.

The Dinos kept up the pressure the entire game but were unable to beat Vikes 'keeper #Kaitlyn Williams# as she recorded her second shut out of the weekend and seventh on the season.

The first goal came at 42:30 after a back and forth first half when the Vikes' Perri Espeseth was awarded a stroke on the Dinos net. Espeseth lined up a shot that flew over the left foot of Calgary goaltender Stephanie Petrowitsch as she split the pads to the right side of her net.

The second Vikes tally came eight minutes later off the stick of Gillian Wright. Wright was alone on the rush in the Calgary circle after beating a defender when she slapped the ball straight past Petrowitsch to give the Vikes a 2-0 lead.

The result leaves the 2-7-1 Dinos at least one point behind the 2-5-2 Alberta Pandas for the final berth in the CIS championships.

The Vikes, now 5-2-3, clinch a CIS playoff berth with the win and sit in second place behind the UBC Thunderbirds, who will visit the Vikes next weekend for a two game series on the UVic turf field.
