FROM THE FIELD - Alex Moody
On the game:
"I think we had a really strong first half, possessed the ball well, and scoring early is always ideal. We were able to get a clean sheet- I don't think they [Saskatchewan] got many chances- so we kept it tight in the back. Overall, it was a really good team performance."

On his goals:
"The first one I didn't really expect, and it was a nice team play on the second one. Who doesn't love scoring, right? It felt really good. It's also nice to score at home before we go on a string of away games. Overall super happy."

WORTH NOTING

• Alex Moody's goals marked his firsts of the year, while Takin Keshavarz scored the first goal of his Vikes career.
• Victoria moves to 5-0-2 on the year with the win, while Saskatchewan drops to 2-5-0 with the loss.
