DOUBLE-BRONZEWEEKEND

U.C.F.V was all-square at 1-1 with Langara College. With a skillet! goal, allstar forward Laurie Blakeway made sure an over1i111e periotl would decide 1he match. In the extra time, all-star midfielder Jamie Zarin stole the show with the game-winning goal. Wi1h the win against Langara, the women's sqund received bronze medals und respect for their effort. 'l'he men'::; team followed the same winJing road that the ladies took in order to find their bron1,e 01ctlals. The first game against Langara. third in the country, was a buttlc where every player left a part of himself or herself nn the ritcli. Lflngara wus the eventual winnel' with a gmtl tlrnt crawled in the net with 8 minutes to go in regulation tit11c. It was the amazing piny of

All star Sean Hayes thought he had n goal with 12 minutes left, but his game-winning strike was called back because of o mysterious hnm.lball penalty from the referee. ln true " Valley" fashion, the second game was an uffair to remember. Arch rival· U.C.r.V and Cariboo College were going hend to head against each other for the third time this season. Caribou had won the previous matches with a scores of 2-0 and 4-3. I am very lrnppy lo say that the buys did not make it a clean sweep in the series fur Cariboo. Striker Tyler Willnru used his pretty face to head in the equaliz~r with just 7 minutes left in the game. It wa~ a 45-yard throw in into the penalty area by all-star Gord Dickson that made Wi Ilnrd's goal possible. It wns 1-1 after the full 90 minutes of pluy. With nails being bit1en on the sideline and coach Scott Fast pacing with ancicipation, the men took to the field for overtime. Victory came in the tenth minute of extra time with a brilliant strike from all-star forward Yassir Abdalla. The scuson of 2001-2002 looks very bright with the majority of players coming back for both teams. The spirit of "Valley" ball i. alive nnd well after the weekend and will continue in to next enson. Let us as fellow students congratulate both temns on a wonderful and inspiring year of U.C.F. V soccer,

The team is rnthcr new, ii was created twu or three months ago in association with the Fort Langley ruwing club. Most of the rowers in the team ure new lo lhe spot 1, so you can imagine what they went thrnugh learn ing how the boats 11rc called (no, not ho.ns. "shells") lCl the different pnns llf it. Suying this. you rnight think that the team wouldn't dare to go on a race. right? Wrllng, in fact.

They had names like ''Coxed suckers", "Stroke Mc Hurd''. "Chtxs With Stix~." etc. (Many names had "Cox" somewhere in them because the person who sits in the bout guiding tt1e crew - the one that you see yelling "row. row, row!" in 1he Olympics - is culled Coxswain or "Cox").
