The Pronghorn women’s soccer team heads out on the road this weekend, traveling to Saskatchewan to take on the Saskatchewan Huskies and Regina Cougars.
Male Athlete of the Week:
Blake Pipke – Men’s Soccer
Despite dropping both games on the road this past weekend, fourth-year defender Blake Pipke was a bright spot for the Pronghorn men’s soccer team.

Through eight conference games, Pipke has played every minute in all eight games and is continually a steading force on the back end for the Pronghorns.
