VS #VIKESVCAPS FEBRUARY 15, 2015

This is the fourth-straight and 10th overall match up between the Vikes and Whitecaps FC men’s soccer programs. The teams have met at all but one year (2011) since 2005.

The friendly match follows a 2014 fall season that saw the 8-1-3 Vikes finish just shy of a CIS Championship berth after losing 2-0 to Saskatchewan in the West semifinals. Despite not appearing at nationals, the Vikes had a highlight season with fifth-year forward Cameron Stokes finishing second in conference scoring with eight goals, going on to be named a Canada West First Team All-Star alongside defender Alex Redpath, midfielder Cam Hundal and keeper Noah Pawlowski. Pawlowski was further honoured as a CIS First Team All-Canadian after posting four shutouts and a save percentage of 80 per cent throughout the regular season.

In his first season at the helm, head coach Carl Robinson led Whitecaps FC to their second MLS Cup playoff appearance in 2014. The ‘Caps set new team records for points (50), road points (18), and fewest defeats. The Blue and White also captured a second consecutive and qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time in club history.

Entering their fifth season in MLS, Vancouver’s MLS roster features three Designated Players in Chilean attacking midfielder and captain Pedro Morales – 2014 MLS Newcomer of the Year – as well as defensive midfielder Matias Laba and new striker Octavio Rivero.

Last year, Whitecaps FC defeated the Vikes 1-0 at Centennial Stadium. Since 2005, Vancouver holds the edge with a 7W-1L-1D record against UVic. Photos | APSHUTTER.COM Content | Ali Lee Design | Erin Kenny UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA VIKES
