Mariners Try For Double Gold
The PACWEST champion Mariners look to added another gold medal this afternoon
After taking out the defending champions on Thursday the VIU Mariners are in the CCAA national title game for the first time since 1993 and are the first PACWEST women’s team to play for gold since Langara in 2008. They will face the Dynamiques de Sainte-Foy, the wildcard entry from the RSEQ.
The Mariners took down the defending champion Champlain Saint-Lambert Cavaliers 2-1 in penalty kicks to earn a spot in today’s final. Meanwhile Sainte-Foy beat the Fanshawe Falcons 2-0 in the semi-final.
These two schools have never met in the national championship and are led by two great offences and stifling defences. However weather could play a major factor with snow showers and a high of only -8 today in Edmonton.
Kick-Off is set for 1:00pm PST today WATCH HERE
