LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lots of action this weekend for local teams. Here’s a rundown of the games set for the Lethbridge College Kodiaks and University of Lethbridge Pronghorns.

The Lethbridge College Kodiaks men’s soccer team has gone 0-2 over the last two days at the CCAA nationals. On Wednesday, Nov. 6 they lost 2-1 against the VIU Mariners in the quarter-final.

That came before a 3-0 loss to the Champlain Saint-Lambert Cavaliers on Thursday, Nov. 7.

The Kodiaks are not done, however. They won’t make the podium but will be in a placement match tomorrow (Nov. 9) against the Holland Hurricanes.
