After a rare two-game skid, the Vancouver College Fighting Irish returned home to O’Hagan Field with something to prove, and they did just that. In a complete team performance, the Irish shut out the Carson Graham Eagles 55-0 Saturday afternoon, marking their first win of the regular season and a strong statement that the Irish are back on track.
From the opening kickoff, the energy was different. The Irish defence came out firing, forcing multiple turnovers that led directly to points and contributed two touchdowns of their own. The offence found its rhythm early, executing key plays that helped seal the game long before the final whistle.
“It was great to finally play at home after the past few weeks on the road,” said Head Coach Bryan Chiu (VC ‘92).
“The boys played hard and our defence had an outstanding game. We still have a lot to work on in order to get to where we want to be.”


Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Regen Oey (VC ‘16) echoed that message, emphasizing both the challenge and the growth from the matchup.
“Carson Graham is a well-coached program, and the team responded well to their challenge. All phases of the game need to improve, but it was nice to get back in the win column.”
With this decisive victory, the Irish improve to 1-2 and regain momentum heading into next week’s matchup. Vancouver College will host the Belmont Bulldogs on Saturday, October 18th at 1:30 PM on the historic O’Hagan Field for their annual Faith, Family, Football game, another opportunity to keep building toward championship form.
