With the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference (ACAC) recently releasing the schedule, the Vikings will lace up their boots for 12 conference games for the Fall 2023 season, kicking off at home on September 9th.
The Vikings will suit up at home six times over the course of the six-week schedule, including their season opener at Augustana Field against the Ambrose Lions, on September 9th at 4:00 pm, before hosting the SAIT Trojans 24 hours later.
Last season the team finished fourth in the south with a 4-8-0 record, securing wins over both the Lions and Medicine Hat College Rattlers twice and falling just short of a playoff spot.
This year's ACAC Championship will be held at the Edmonton Soccer Dome in conjunction with the Men’s Soccer Championship and for the first time, it will be held indoors from October 26-28. The King’s Eagles, NAIT Ooks and Concordia Thunder will act as co-hosts to the top six men’s and top six women’s teams in the league.
The Holland Hurricanes will play host to conference Champions across the nation for the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) 2023 CCAA Women’s Soccer National Championship scheduled for November 8-11.
