Golden Bears take 33-22 win over Rams
in Edmonton
EDMONTON, Alta. - The University of Alberta Golden Bears vaulted
into third place in the Canada West standings after recording a
33-22 victory over the Regina Rams on Saturday afternoon at
Foote Field.
Alberta led by just two points at halftime, but the Rams were
simply unable to generate any offence in the second half.
Alberta held Regina off the scoreboard for the first 29 minutes
of the half, and a Matthew Jarvis touchdown with just over two
minutes left in the fourth quarter essentially iced the game for
the Golden Bears.
Alberta’s win creates a quagmire in the Canada West playoff
race, with four teams jockeying for the final two postseason
berths in the conference. The Golden Bears and the Rams are both
3-3, with Alberta holding the tiebreaker due to Saturday’s
victory. Just behind them is Simon Fraser (3-4), with
sixth-place Manitoba (2-4) also holding a very real chance of
qualifying for the playoffs.
Golden Bears kicker Hugh O’Neill was successful on all four of
his field goal attempts, including from 47 and 50 yards out.
Quade Armstrong completed 16 of his 29 passes for 220 yards and
a touchdown with David Court (4 catches for 50 yards) as his
main target. Jarvis ended up with 99 rushing yards and a
touchdown, while Tendayi Jozzy had 74 yards on 14 carries.
Jason Hetherington had two more interceptions for Alberta,
running his conference-leading total up to eight for the season.
No other Canada West player has more than four.
Jordan Sisco led the Rams with ten catches for 143 yards and two
rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Marc Mueller completed 26 of his
41 passes for 323 yards and a touchdown, while Graham Mosiondz
had a team-high 78 rushing yards.
Still in full control of their own playoff destiny, the Rams
will be back in action next weekend with a road game at No.
3-ranked Calgary (5-1). Regina will clinch a playoff berth with
a win over the Dinos or a win over Saskatchewan on Oct. 24.
NOTES: Sisco jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 on the U of R’s career
receiving yards list, passing Chris Bauman and Michael Thomas …
Sisco also surpassed Jason Clermont for third on the U of R’s
career receptions list … Sisco now has 124 catches for 1786
yards over his four-season career with the Rams … Jeff Lukomski
recorded his first career interception during the third quarter.
