Oct 11, 2011
The Langara men had a tough holiday weekend. Saturday the Falcons hosted the Vancouver Island University Marineers, and the visitors took it to the Falcons from the opening whistle, scoring three goals in the first half. After the break the Falcons mounted some pressure and Konstantin Vasic was able to tally his first goal of the season. That would be as close as the Falcons would get, with the final ending up 3-1 for VIU. On Sunday the Falcons faced their cross town rivals Capilano. The Falcons came out a bit flat to start off the contest, and Capilano capitalised with an early goal. Capilano continued to control most of the play and were able to score their second goal to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. After the break the Falcons brought pressure and had several chances to cut into the Blues' lead, but no one could find the back of the net. With 20 minutes left and against the flow of play Capilano got a break and put in their third of the afternoon ending the Falcons hopes of a comeback. The final was 3-0 for the Blues.
Next Game Saturday October 15th at TRU 2:00pm.

MEN GET A POINT
Sept 26, 2011

They got off to a rough start going down 0-2 early, then in a span of 10 minutes Brett Wiens scored two goals to tie it up going into half time.

The Langara men got their first win of the campaign on Sunday at Empire Field against the UNBC Timberwolves. The game was a back and forth affair with both teams having several good chances to score in the first half. The second half brought more of the same as the intensity increased and time ticked away. Finally a break came for the Falcons as Stefano Mattia was given a wonderful ball as he broke in clear of the defense on the left side. Finding himself alone with the keeper Stefano slotted home his first goal of the season. It was all the Falcons would need giving them a 1-0 result. The Falcons next game is on Saturday Sept 24th against Douglas College.
