This past weekend the Au-

SAIT Trojans. Home on Fri-

day January 11th and away on

but SAIT ended up taking the

match and the women could

not take back the momentum

and were beaten in three sets.

Stefanie Zahara received

Player of the Game. The

Men's team took the Tro-

jans, who are at the top of

the league to four on Friday

night but could not take a

win. Naz received Player of

the Game. On Saturday the

women lost in three again

but felt that they had played

a better game overall. Kristy

Wade received Player of the

Game. The Men's team

won the first set against

SAIT but could not pull

through and had a couple

more shaky games before

reaching an ultimate loss.

Men’s Hockey vs. Grant MacEwan

Saturday Evening in Edmon-

ton the Vikings offence kept

scoring at great pace winning

the match up 10-4. First year

North Battleford product

Boyd Wakelin led the Vikings

with a total of 5 points, as

seven different Vikings con-

tributed towards the ten goals.

Harrison Tribble had a good

weekend on the score sheet as

well and capped it off with

the nicest goal of the year for

the Vikings to date. At this

point of the season offence

has been key for the Vikings

who

find five players in the top

twenty of league scoring.

Next weekend will bring a

huge test for the men as a

home and home series with

the Sait Trojans will com-

mence. Come on out to

Encana and support the boys

as this rough rivalry contin-

ues Friday night with a 7:30

puck drop.

The 2013 portion of the sched-

ule began with a home and

home series with the Grant

MacEwan Griffins for the

men’s hockey team. Wednes-

day evening at the Encana are-

na the men’s team skated to a 5

-3 victory in front of the

Augustana faithful. First year

Viking Craig Cornelson posted

a great game netting a hat trick

leading the Vikings. The line

of Hope, Cornelson, and

Aucoin were flying in the

matchup contributing greatly to

the men’s 5 goals. The goal-

tending duties were split be-

tween Paul Kolida and Joel

Danyluk.

Welcome back everyone; hope the holidays were full of merriness and goodwill. As we get set to embark on the second half of the ACAC season, let’s take a look back

at some of the accomplishments of the Vikings in the year 2012.

-February 10th: The men’s volleyball team clinched a playoff berth in the program’s second season with a 3-1 win over the visiting Medicine Hat Rattlers. Rookie Andrew Kaliel had an inspired performance coming off of the bench, posting 9 kills in only 2

sets.

-February 18th: A 74-70 victory over the visiting N.A.I.T. Ooks clinched third place in the North Division for the women’s basketball team. They went on to have a spirited

series against the Lethbridge Kodiaks, falling in the best of three 2-1.

-February 22nd: Due a complicated tie, the Vikings men’s basketball team had to travel to Calgary to take on S.A.I.T. in a sudden death contest to qualify for playoffs. The

Vikings rose to the challenge, routing the Trojans 80-54 and qualifying for the post-

season for the first time in coach David Drabiuk’s time here at Augustana.

-March 23rd: The Vikings hockey team won the ACAC championship, defeating the N.A.I.T. Ooks in double overtime and 3 games to 1. Dean Prpick scored the golden

goal.

-April 11th: The Vikings held their 2012 Colour Night Athletic Awards Banquet was held in the Augustana Gymnasium. Andrew Pohl and Maya Zimmerman were named

the Male and Female Athletes of the Year.

-September 8th: Vikings Athletics held the first ever Vikings Wall of Fame Dinner. The

event featured some illustrious guests, including NHL Stanley Cup Champion Craig Simpson and his wife Jamie Sale, famous for her Olympic gold in pair’s figure skating, as well as NHL Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier. Inducted into the Vikings Wall of Fame were Clarence and Irvin Servold, Karel Lunde, Yvonne Visser, Dr. Garry Gibson and

the 1974-75 National Championship Hockey Team.

-October 10th: The Augustana Vikings hockey team raised their ACAC championship

banner. They followed the ceremony by defeating the Portage Voyageurs 7-2.

-October 26th: The women’s volleyball team earned their first ACAC win, defeating the Keyano Huskies 3-1. A number of team records were set; including most kills by

the team in a match and most digs by one player in a match, Kerri Alcorn with 23.

-November 24th: With a win over the N.A.I.T. Ooks to end the first half, the Au-gustana Vikings women’s basketball team went into the Christmas break undefeated

and ranked 4th in the country.

That is all for now folks. Let’s continue the momentum of 2012 into 2013.
