The Huskies men’s soccer team continued their undefeated streak over the weekend with two wins against the hosting University of MacEwan Griffins.

The Dogs beat the Griffins 5–0 on Sept. 14 and 5–1 the following day, improving their record to 4–0–0. The two wins place them squarely at the top of the highly contested Prairie Division with 12 points to their name. After this weekend’s results, the Griffins slip to the bottom of the division and are still looking for their first win of the season with a record of 0–4–0.

Starting the weekend double header with a 5–0 victory, the Dogs showed no intention of slowing down. Jordian Farahani opened up the scoring for the Dogs with an unassisted goal in the 18th minute of the first half. He was able to place his strike past Griffins keeper Adam Hajji and into the bottom left corner.

Brett Levis and David Brown continued the Huskies successful first half scoring a goal each before the 45 minute mark.

The second half was just as successful as for the Dogs. Defenceman Austin Boryski scored in the 57th minute of the game off of a corner kick, heading the ball into the top corner of the net. Closing out the game, Farahani scored his second goal of the match by sliding the ball past Hajji from a well-placed free kick.

While the Huskies offence was potent and effective their defence was even better, allowing only two shots on goalkeeper Michal Bandalu all weekend. In the first game, the Huskies did not allow Bandalu to be tested at all, with all shots arriving in the second game of the double header.

The final game of the weekend was another fantastic performance for the Dogs. Coming in the 13th minute of the match, Levis got the team’s scoring going with his second goal of the weekend.

The Griffins’ sole goal of the weekend came in the 28th minute of the match with Dejan Gajic slipping the ball past goalkeeper Bandalu into the bottom left corner.

Not to be deterred by the minor mistake, the Huskies pushed forward for the rest of the game. Brown scored his second goal of the weekend in the 38th minute of the match. Three minutes later, the MacEwan Griffins suffered a devastating setback to their hopes of a mid-game resurgence when a bungled pass caused an own goal and a 3–1 deficit heading into the break.

The offensive prowess of the Dogs continued in the second half with Mitchell Bauche and Boryski scoring in the 50th and 79th minutes. This capped off a 5–1 score to conclude the weekend’s final match.

Levis and David have continued to be standout players for the Dogs this season. Each of them having scored four goals for the Huskies in the past two weeks and are placed second and third, respectively, among individuals goal scorers in the Canada West conference.

Both Huskie stars are in the top five points leaders of the Canada West conference with Levis coming in second with 12 points and Brown coming in fourth with nine points.

The Huskies now have an almost two week break during which they will train and rest until the weekend of Sept. 27. Then they will travel to do battle with the sixth placed University of Lethbridge Pronghorns who sit at 0-1-1 in another weekend double header.
