VICTORIA - After grinding out a five game road series, the no. 4 UVic Vikes men's rugby team returns to Wallace Field in hopes of punching their ticket to the post season by upsetting the undefeated James Bay Athletic Association.

GAME INFORMATION
Sat. April 17 vs. James Bay AA (Wallace Field) – 2:45p.m.

SCOUTING THE VIKES (7-2)
Boasting a perfect record at home this season, the Premier League's second highest scoring offence will have one last shot at beating a top-four team. Against the seven squads beneath them in the standings, the Vikes have amassed an impressive 344 points. Their high-octane production was held to just 31 points, however, when they suffered their only losses of 2010 against the no. 2 Meralomas and no. 3 Capilanos.

Injuries have sidelined top scorers #David Spicer# and #Nathan Hirayama# but veteran centre #Ben Grant# has stepped up to contribute 31 points on the season. Each of the tight five in the forwards has been tested against international competition and with the return of Canadian senior men's captain #Pat Riordan# to the pack, the Vikes have been dominant at the breakdown.

SCOUTING JAMES BAY (9-0)
Hot off a 19-12 injury time victory against the reigning Rounsfel Cup champs Meralomas last Saturday, the Bays are in top form averaging a league-high 47 points per game. Led by a slew of Team Canada alumni including current national Canadian sevens coach Morgan Williams, the Bays will look to their veterans to grind out their 19th straight victory. Their 'Blue Crush' defence has allowed a league-best nine points against and sees them enter week 11 as the only Premiership team to concede less than 100 points.

HEAD TO HEAD
The last time the Vikes edged the Bays was in the 2008 Barnard Cup Final when Canadian international Sean Duke dashed 50 metres to score in a late 23-18 comeback victory. The Bays have since won the last four encounters including the 2009 Vancouver Island championship final.
