Vikes win fifth national title in men's soccer

The Vikes men’s soccer team won their fifth CIS national title in school history with a 3–1 win over the Saint Mary’s Huskies in front of 3,023 fans at Centennial Stadium Nov. 13.

UVic's men's soccer teams have now won five national titles including banners in 2004, 1996, 1987 and 1975.

Cam Hundal, named the Team Sales player of the game and tournament MVP, finished with three goals and one assist, including the game-winner in the championship final over the Huskies. His dominating performance throughout the weekend generated chants of “Cam-V-P” from the pro-Vikes crowd.

The freshman and Surrey, BC, native said he was happy for the entire team and is already excited for next season.

“We believed in each other,” Hundal said. “It’s a great school, the team is very good and we have a great coach in Bruce Wilson. It feels good to win a championship, but I want to win many championships here, and win it again next year.”

Wesley Barrett of Richmond, BC, scored the other Vikes goal.

Vikes head coach Bruce Wilson said he was pleased with his team and their full buy-in to his system throughout the season.

“We had a lot of senior players who came back this year and we picked up some quality rookies as well,” Wilson said. “I’m so happy, I don’t know what to say. I feel so fortunate that we won this game in front of this great crowd with great alumni presence, and they were all loud. It doesn’t get better than this.”
