Vikings split weekend series with Clippers following a 6-3 win

CAMROSE, AB - Splitting the weekend's two-game series that saw 18 goals scored, the University of Alberta - Augustana Vikings defeated the Briercrest Clippers 6-3, on Saturday afternoon at Encana Arena.

The two teams are now tied once again in standing with a 4-2-0 record alongside the RDP Kings and NAIT Ooks for first in the division.

Giving the home crowd something to cheer for, the Vikings had five different goal scorers on the sheet, including Ben Stollery, Conrad Phillips, Jack Hamly, Tanner Manz, Gerick Ripley and Tavis Roch. Daniel Moody had 10 saves in the win.

Across the ice, Justin Keck, Campbell Ens, and Zack Thususka all netted one a piece for the Clippers, while keeper Dominik Tmej had 22 saves on the afternoon.

It was a flurry of goals to start the game, adding to the night before as Keck opened the scoring to put the visitors up just 37 seconds into the game. However, the Vikings would score four in the opening frame compared to the Clipper's three before adding another two to the board in the third period.

Next up, the Vikings will face off in a home-and-home series with the sixth-place Concordia Thunder, while the Clippers will have a weekend to rest after being on the road before hosting the Thunder on November 10th and 11th.
