Kings Soccer | Sunday, September 23 | 2:00 p.m. | RDC

The RDC Kings (1 – 1 – 1) will face the Lethbridge College Kodiaks (1 – 1 – 1). Entering the weekend, both teams share third place in the ACAC Men’s Soccer South Division. 

RDC Golf | September 22 – 23 | South Regional | Mill Woods Golf Course

After third place finishes for the Queens & Kings last week, the RDC Golf teams will diligently practice this week, striving to build upon those results. The Queens & Kings have some promising, young student-athletes who showed they can compete with the best collegiate golfers. 

First-year student-athlete, Chloe Sies (167) will look to continue the momentum she created after a remarkable first place tie last weekend, which included a low round of 77. Having the leadership and talent of Shaye Leidenius back on the course will be a major boost for Queens Golf. Chase Broderson, another talented first-year RDC golfer, was right in the mix among the top ACAC male golfers after placing third (159) individually. 

Concordia University of Edmonton will host the event.
