Lethbridge – With four games remaining in the Canada West soccer schedule, the Lethbridge Pronghorn men's soccer team (2-8-1 CW) was officially eliminated from post season contention last Sunday when the Calgary Dinos defeated the UNBC Timberwolves.
 
In the second to last weekend of the regular season, the 'Horns head out on the road to face the Fraser Valley Cascades and Victoria Vikes.
 
For the 'Horns, the inability to find the back of the net will haunt this season's squad. Of the team's eight losses, five were by one goal, including six games where the 'Horns where shutout.
 
Gui Costa and Conner Brady led the 'Horns in scoring with two goals apiece and as a group the 'Horns are tied for the second fewest goals scored in the conference with nine.
 
Friday night, the 'Horns will look to play spoiler, as the Fraser Valley Cascades (4-7-1 CW) are in a dog fight for the final playoff spot with the Trinity Western Spartans. The Cascades lead the Spartans by three points but the Spartans hold two games in hand.
 
The next night the 'Horns take on the second place Vikes in Victoria. The Vikes are comfortably in second place in the Pacific Division and will not be able to catch the UBC Thunderbirds for top spot.
 
The Vikes have scored the second most goals in the conference with 25 and are led by Cameron Stokes, who is second in conference scoring with seven goals.
 
Both games kick off at 7:15pm PST.
 
The 'Horns will return home next weekend to conclude the 2013 season, hosting the UBC Thunderbirds and TWU Spartans.
