Box Score KELOWNA, BC - In their final action of the conference season, the University of Victoria men's soccer team defeated the UBC Okanagan Heat by a score of 2-0 at the Nonis Sports Field in Kelowna. 
 
The Vikes would breakthrough in first half stoppage time as Xavier Araujo was brought down in the penalty area and MacKenzie Rigg stepped up and slotted it home past Heat keeper Nicholas Reitsma.

It was a much slower paced second half, with the only goal coming from freshman Matteo Ventura in the 63rd minute following a turnover from the Heat goalkeeper.
The first chance came just seven minutes in when Xavier Araujo's shot from outside the area hit off the cross bar and out following a UBCO turnover.
 
The best Heat chance game In the 35 minute off a free-kick when Aidan Tuck whipped a ball into the box and Hamish Walde's header floated just wide. Araujo was the creater of the opening goal for the visitors as he was taken down inside the penalty area and MacKenzie Rigg stepped out and slotted it home for the 1-0 halftime lead.
 
Heat keeper Nicholas Reitsma would do his best to keep them in the match with big saves in both the 51st and 61st minute, including a breakaway stop. Just minutes after the breakaway save the keeper would turn the ball over in his own half and Vikes superstar freshman Matteo Ventura would net his 10th of the season firing it off the post and in. UBCO's offense would struggle to create chances in the final 45 minutes, as the Vikes defense forced them to play long balls over the top.

With the win, the Vikes finish their 2018 season with a final record of 5-8-3.
