November 5, 2011 Totems soar and Birds crash.
UBC went one for two on the weekend with the visiting University of Victoria. The day got off to a sparkling start with the UBC freshman group handling the UVic Jutes with a 45-14 result. Full bank, Eric Chau (Charles Tupper) dotted down twice while right winger Kyle Leeners (Rockridge) doubled that with four tries. Cam Graham ( Merritt) crossed the line in the second half while Liam Murphy-Burke (Semiahmoo) converted five from seven.
The second game was all one way traffic as UVic cruised to an 82-0 victory. The Vikes lead 29-0 at the half and really poured it on finishing with fourteen tries on the day. It was truly a dark day for UBC but there is the opportunity to make amends on January 21 when UVic hosts the rematch. Let there be light.
