VICTORIA – The University of Victoria men's soccer team created chances, but were unable to convert and ultimately fell to Mount Royal University, 1-0, Sept. 25 at Centennial Stadium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Harjot Nijjar recorded three saves in net.
• Jonas Zimmermann and Harry Ritter West each put a shot on frame for the Vikes, while Nick Park and Dusan Mitrovic led Victoria with two shots each.
