Pronghorns soccer clubs take victories in ‘triple-header’ sports day at U of L

Sep 20, 2026 | 7:44 AM

It was a win-win situation for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns soccer clubs Saturday.

Kate Kungel assisted on the opening goal by Brynn Birnie in the 13th minute, before scoring herself late in the match, in the 71st minute, as the Horns doubled the University of Manitoba 2-1 to improve their record to 2-and-3.

“Momentum (was) in our favour after our trip to Regina last week,” said head coach Cedric Bovon.

“We definitely felt the conviction and confidence coming into today. I think for us it’s building the little wins the last year and a bit. I think the win last week galvanized us to say, hey, we want that feeling, again.”

The ladies will play the Bisons one more time at 2 p.m. Sunday at Community Stadium.

In the follow-up, it took until the 75th minute for the first goal of the game to be scored, and it proved to be the only one needed, as the U of L men shut out the University of Alberta Golden Bears 1-nil in a physical affair that saw eight yellow cards handed out by referee Connor McKinstry.

The victory improved the Horns’ record to 2-and-2 on the season.

They’ll play Edmonton’s MacEwan University at 4 p.m. Sunday, also at Community Stadium.
