The men’s Hurricanes sit atop the ACAA standings at 4-0-0, and were ranked third in this week’s Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) rankings. UNBSJ has a record of 0-2-1 for sixth place while St. Thomas sits in fourth at 1-1-2 record.
Coming off a solid set of home games last week, Holland College centre back Bobby Gamba feels the Hurricanes are up for the challenge.
“It’s always more challenging playing on the road,” said Gamba. “But we’ve been working hard in training, and feel we can carry the momentum from previous games into this weekend.”
Head coach Jonathan Vos is looking for his team to build off last weekend.
“We are looking forward to seeing how we match up against UNBSJ and STU,” said Vos. “The team has been working hard to show what they can do.”
Game times on Saturday are 2 and 4 p.m., with noon and 3:15 p.m. starts Sunday.
