On the men’s side, the Kodiaks fell 2-1 to the Trojans and are now 2-2 this season.

In the women’s game, Krista Van Diemen scored for Lethbridge to make it 2-1, but that’s as close as the Kodiaks got as the Trojans added one more with all the scoring in the first half.

Kodiaks goaltender Cailey Lister stopped five of eight shots in the loss.

In the men’s game, the Trojans opened up a 2-0 lead before Ben Knight scored for the Kodiaks to cut the lead to 2-1.
