CALGARY – After settling for a draw yesterday, the University of Victoria Vikes bounced back in a big way with a sound 3-0 shutout over the University of Calgary Dinos on Sunday afternoon at Hawkings Field.
 
The first quarter, similar to Saturday, started out slow. One area of concern in the opening frame came when Dinos goalkeeper Tayler Guy went down with what appeared to be a lower-body injury. After a brief timeout, Guy was able to stay in the contest.
 
The second quarter opened quickly from the Vikes offence when Erin Dawson was able to beat Guy and give her team the first lead of the game. Calgary looked poised to respond to the opener minutes later when Jenna Bower was left all alone in front of the Victoria goal, only to be denied by a highlight-worthy diving save from Robin Fleming.
 
The next action in the game came in the fourth quarter from a beautiful cross crease pass again to Erin Dawson who had a tap in to put the Vikes up 2-0.
 
Despite the Dinos trying to push for the tying goals late in the game with a pulled goalie, they were held to very limited chances. Janet Dawson, no relation to Erin, took advantage of the empty net for her first of the season.
  
The Vikes will now prepare for a pair of road games next weekend in Vancouver when they take on the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in the latest installment of the Legends Cup.
