Vikes' season comes to an end with semifinal loss to Mount Royal

Calgary, Alta. - Though able to come back and force overtime, the University of Victoria men's soccer team ultimately fell to Mount Royal University, 3-1, Oct. 29 in the Canada West semifinals.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Javier Sagaste drilled a penalty kick to the top right corner of the net to equalize in the 87th minute, forcing overtime.

  • Victoria edged the Cougars in shots (15-11) and shots on goal (7-6).
  • The loss was the Vikes' second of the year to MRU, as the Cougars came away with a 2-0 win Sept. 16 at Stadium Field.
  • The Vikes end the season with an overall record of 11-5-2, including the program's first 10-win conference season since 2013.
