By TREVOR KENNEY

Scandinavia Tour 2011 – call it an applied study course for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s soccer program.

Steacy on record run

By TREVOR KENNEY

If you didn’t hear Heather Steacy’s name last year, it wasn’t because the Pronghorns track and field star suddenly fell back to the pack and wasn’t the dominating force we’ve learned to expect. Instead, Steacy was just bolstering herself for a record assault that is now in full bloom.
