| OUA names four Lancers as All-Stars in 2007 By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor November 14, 2007 The Lancers had four men honoured by the Ontario University Athletics last week as they were named All-Stars for the 2007 season. Men’s soccer rookie Duop Wur was given the highest honour as a First Team All-Star for the midfielder position. Wur’s teammate Chris Hart was named a Second Team All-Star while Lancer football players Kevin Reider and Matt Morencie were also named Second Team All-Stars.
The Lancers Men’s Soccer team head coach Steve Hart said that Wur’s height has contributed to an improved midfield defense. “He’s 6’5, he kind of stands out. One thing we’ve been overrun with is no aerial control with balls coming over the defense. He’s commanded the air. Even when he doesn’t win the ball, he still gives us a presence,” said coach Hart. >>  |

| Future cult classic, Weirdsville Erin Valois The Eyeopener, Ryerson University November 14, 2007 TORONTO (CUP) -- Gail Kim knows a thing or two about kicking ass and she’s showing the wrestling world that girls can play too.

“I never told my parents about my wrestling at first. For a year they thought I was still going to Ryerson. They are very traditional Korean parents and they felt school and education was important,” she said. “I just knew I could make it in wrestling.”
Kim’s big break came in 2001 when the WWE was in Toronto for a fan event. She was introduced to wrestler Molly Holly, who thought she had a unique look and submitted a video to WWE representatives. A few months later, Kim received the call. >> |
