The Vikings Men’s Basketball team travelled to Montana for an exhibition tournament this weekend where they competed against two tough teams. The Vikings lost 90-50 against the University of Great Falls and against MSUN with a final score of 95-53. Coach Drabiuk had this to say after the weekend’s tournament, “The team showed great toughness and played gritty basketball in front of very vocal home crowds. The trip wraps up he first half of the season. Despite the losses in Montana the team has been steadily improving over the course of the first half.”
Balancing the books… Sleep, eat, classes, group projects, studying, team practice, strength training, travel, com-petition, eat, sleep, repeat… Not all days are like this, but our student-athletes, on average, dedicate 21 hours a week to training and performing in their chosen sport. Add in weekend travel to competitions, athletic therapy, and involvement in community initiatives and there is little to no time re-maining to take on part-time jobs to offset the costs of attending university. Financial assistance is crucial to the continuation of the proud tradition of sporting and academic excellence at Augustana. Invest in our athletes and their dreams will become reality.

Why did you choose to attend Augustana?
Who has been your biggest influence in your life thus far?
What has been the biggest accomplishment in sport?
What is the best advice you were ever given?
What has been your best moment playing for the Vikings?
What is your favourite type of music/band?
Do you have any rituals or superstitions?
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I went to Augustana partially because of their connection with U of A and also because of the
team and coaching staff.
I’m really close with my family so I would have to say them, especially my grandparents who still
make it out to a lot of our games.
Winning a zone championship for my high school was pretty big for me as well having the
opportunity to play post secondary.
Not to let anything ruin the game for me.
Our teams double OT win against SAIT this season was probably one of my best moments on
this team, that game was important for us this year and bring able to get the win was awesome.
On our game days I get a good warm up before getting on the court but usually don’t put on my
jersey until just before team warm ups start, it keeps me from getting nervous.
What is your favourite food to eat before a game?
Usually pasta but I’m not too picky
I mostly use some quotes from people I admire but also the people around me who are supporting and encouraging me.
My music changes a lot when I’m playing basketball so there’s
more Kanye, Jay Z and Childish Gambino on my playlist for hoop.
What are you looking to accomplish in your time at Augustana?
I want to make a playoff push when I’m still playing and earn a high
GPA.

My how time flies, this semester has flown by faster than Stacey Lorenz connecting something to Miami Vice. And what a semester it has been. Our
hockey team had another solid first half of hockey. Both basketball teams pulled off upsets to finish at or near .500. Men’s basketball player Shayne
Bruney won ACAC athlete of the week on Nov. 27th, scoring 60 points in the team’s last 3 games of the semester. Our men’s volleyball team
surpassed last season’s win total in less than half the matches it took last year. Our outdoor runners continued to be among the elite, with Andy Pohl
winning a CCAA national gold medal in men’s cross country running. And we hosted a number of other events, including two big volleyball
tournaments, the Earle Berry Classic in September and the 1A boys Provincial Championship, the latter of which saw local schools Bawlf and host
New Norway come away with Silver and Bronze. It has been one heck of a semester. However, as we focus now on studying for finals and planning
for the holidays, we need to avoid one of the worst states and athlete or a team can ever enter; complacency.
Complacency: “A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy,” (The
Free Dictionary). Men’s Volleyball assistant coach Paul Kjos has been telling us all season that the one thing we cannot do after a weekend, a match
win, a set win, or even a good run of points, is become complacent. What makes a great athlete and a great team is that the athlete or team will kept
striving to improve regardless of any situation. Those who have been in the gym this past fall have seen how hard our teams have worked, through
both wins and losses. But as successful as we have been there is a lot of work to do. Hockey can clinch a buy into playoffs, but they have some big
games left. Both basketball and volleyball squads will have to win a lot of games yet to make playoffs. In order to see our teams play farther into
February and March, we will need to keep driving forward. I mentioned this before, but the buzz for our athletics program is going. We put a few more
teams into the playoffs and we will be the talk of the ACAC this summer. So with that said, good job this semester, study hard for finals, Merry
Christmas, Happy New Year, and I will see you all in January.
