Expect to see more great saves by UVic Vikes goalie Dominic Butcher (in practice, above) when the men’s soccer team hosts the 1999 CIAU men’s national soccer championship Nov. 11 – 14 at Centennial Stadium. The Vikes are scheduled to play at 5 p.m., Nov. 11 and 12. For the second year in a row, Butcher is the Canada West league’s top goalkeeper, starting all eight of the Vikes games and surrendering only two goals so far this season. His goals against average is 0.25, and he leads the league with six shutouts. A Victoria native, Butcher is in his fourth year of a social science degree. The Vikes record heading into the last weekend of regular season play was seven wins and one tie, and they finished the season in first place for the league. The Vikes last won the CIAU championship banner in 1996. The bronze game is at noon on Nov. 14, with the gold medal game at 3 p.m.
