The men’s and women’s Lancer curling teams are hosting open tryouts at the Roseland Golf and Curling Club on Saturday Oct. 20 and Sunday Oct. 21 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. to restock their ranks after they saw many of their teammates graduate last season. >> | Boutette tackles to the top By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor October 10, 2007 Lancer Defensive Back Kyle Boutette, in only five games so far this season, has amassed an OUA league leading 35.5 tackles and is 1.5 tackles shy of leading all of Canada’s undergraduate football.

Head coach Mike Morencie said, “[Boutette’s a] real aggressive kid, and very intuitive on the field. He’s always where he’s supposed to be, he’s real good at that.” >>
