Soccersaurs settle for a tie
By Tanya DeLyzer and Amanda VanSteelandt
The men’s soccer game on Sat., Sept. 25 against the University of British Columbia T-Birds was “eerily similar” to previous games this season. The Dinos must like it from behind, because they spent most of the game catching up to the T-Birds. The first goal came from a blatantly offside Luke Sandilands of UBC. The… Continue reading Soccersaurs settle for a tie
Dinos flatline
Well, that was ugly. After being eliminated from playoff contention in the first of three games of a season-ending West Coast road trip, the Dinos men’s soccer team was embarrassed in a pair of lopsided losses to close out the calendar.

Mixed results on prairie tour
In my six years at the U of C, the men’s soccer program has often performed in the shadow of their female counterparts. Apparently all it took to buck the trend–at least for the opening weekend–was some new blood. The Dinos, carrying 14 rookies to open the year, played valiantly in a 2-0 road loss… Continue reading Mixed results on prairie tour

Reflecting on her time as a Dino
If we were talking about the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the fashion world, than what’s going out may be a blessing. Like those crazy fluorescent outfits, big hoop earrings and huge bangs, that I’m sure Sarah Dunlop used to wear back in the ’80s.But we’re not talking about fashion. Were talking about soccer, and the… Continue reading Reflecting on her time as a Dino
Umm Ref… can we get those nine minutes back?
Heading into last weekend, there was cautious optimism in Dinoland. The football team clinched a home playoff game, the men’s soccer team had a favourable draw at the Canada West Finals, and their female counterparts had another chance at the league title. But what happened next was a complete disaster for the red and gold.… Continue reading Umm Ref… can we get those nine minutes back?
