Dinos upset first-place UBC in CIS

October 11, 2009

The University of Calgary Dinos field hockey team celebrated the Thanksgiving weekend in style Sunday, handing the UBC Thunderbirds just their second loss of the season – and the Dinos’ first win over UBC since 2000 – by a 2-1 score at Hawkings Field.

For the second day in a row these teams faced off in winter temperatures and blowing snow. Saturday afternoon, the Dinos’ lack of offence was their downfall as they dropped the first game of this series 4-1.

The Dinos opened the scoring at 25:05 after a sustained offensive effort resulted in a short corner. The initial shot on goal was taken by Courtney Campbell before Serena Lockhart tipped the ball upwards to avoid UBC’s diving goaltender, Dina Bulfone.
