‘Horns Host Huskies for Two

9/12/2013 1:18:00 PM


Lethbridge – Coming off a disappointing opening weekend of the season, the Lethbridge Pronghorn men's soccer team (0-2-0 CW) will look to rebound this weekend hosting the Saskatchewan Huskies (2-0-0) for a pair of games.
 
Kick-off for both games will follow the women's games at 2:15pm at the University Community Sports Stadium.
 
Revenge will also be the 'Horns mind this weekend; the 'Horns and Huskies faced off on the final weekend of the season last year and were battling each other for a post-season spot. The Huskies dashed any hopes of the 'Horns qualifying for the playoffs with a heartbreaking 2-1 victory on the second to last game of the season. In the final game of the season, the 'Horns and Huskies battled to 1-1 draw.
 
The 'Horns dropped both games of a home-and-home series with the Calgary Dinos last weekend, falling 3-2 Saturday in Calgary and 1-0 the next day at home. Defender Conner Brady and freshman Odilichukwu Ohuegbe were the 'Horns goal scorers on Saturday.
 
The Huskies, who made their first appearance on the 2013 CIS top 10 list this week at #10, opened their season two weeks ago beating the Winnipeg Wesmen 2-1. Last weekend they traveled to Prince George for one game versus the UNBC Timberwolves and routed the Timberwolves 7-0.
 
Through two games, Huskies Luigi Bekwayo and Brett Levis lead the Canada West in goal scoring with three goals apiece.
 
The 'Horns will head out on the road next weekend for a pair of games in Edmonton versus the Alberta Golden Bears.
