Dal athletics staffer calls it a career
Pat Nearing, after nearly 30 years working in university athletics, is fully retiring after stepping down from coaching the soccer team in 2019. Throughout his time working in university sport, he’s also coached minor soccer teams around Halifax and provincial soccer programs.
Making the best of a burdened situation
In what could end up being around a 20-month-long AUS soccer off-season, both of Dal’s teams have fully reunited with an emphasis on team building.
From shutdown to action
Aug. 17. This date marked the beginning of phase three in Dalhousie University’s reopening plan for its athletic facilities. The Dalplex’s pool, basketball court and volleyball court reopened. This is in addition to facilities like the fitness hall, which reopened on Aug. 4.
Alan Jazic is back for more
The new head coach of the Dalhousie Tigers men’s soccer team is a familiar face for many players. Alan Jazic will be taking over after from Pat Nearing.
Pitch-side legacy
Pat Nearing’s last game with the Dalhousie Tigers men’s soccer team was a quarter-final loss, but it likely won’t tarnish the legacy he leaves behind.
Playoff performances
The Cape Breton University Capers won the men’s and women’s AUS soccer trophies, while both Dalhousie University Tigers teams bowed out in quarter finals.
A wake-up call
Alexi Armstrong knew something was wrong. When she was 15 years old, the volleyball and soccer player was exhausted all the time, and it wasn’t adding up.
Anchoring the back line
After graduating, defender Jeff Arkin took a year off, but he’s returned to lead the Dalhousie University Tigers men’s soccer team.
Four’s a crowd
In soccer, only one keeper can play the position at a time. The four keepers on the Dalhousie University Tigers women’s soccer team roster know this well.
Halifax Wanderers: A day at the grounds
When the final whistle blew, the score was 0-0. Even still, Saturday afternoon at the Wanderers’ stadium was anything but dull.
