KAMLOOPS — Fifth-year Thompson Rivers WolfPack forward James Fraser was named the Canada West Men’s Soccer Player of the Week Monday after scoring a pair of goals in a four-point weekend for the WolfPack.
Fraser came up big when the WolfPack needed him most on Saturday in their road contest against the UBC Okanagan Heat. With the game all square at one in the 90th minute, Fraser headed in a Ryan Lewis cross past the Heat goal keeper to send Thompson Rivers to the locker room with a 2-1 victory.
On Sunday, Fraser helped the WolfPack remain unbeaten on the season with a goal in the opening minutes of the second half. Thompson Rivers and UBC Okanagan would eventually end the match even at 1-1. The pair of goals over the weekend were the Penticton B.C., local’s first two of the 2021 season. The goals were the first of the season for Fraser, as the veteran who tallied eight times in eight games in 2019 got back on the scoresheet in a big way.
Fraser will move forward as the CW nominee for the U SPORTS Athlete of the Week.
