Wolfpack men’s soccer facing national quality opponents this weekend
KAMLOOPS — It’s a big year for the TRU Wolfpack men’s soccer team, hosting the 2017 U SPORTS national championships in November. This weekend will be a litmus for the team looking ahead to the big tournament Nov. 9-12, hosting the fifth-ranked and multiple national champion UBC Thunderbirds at Hillside Stadium following its home-opener against the University of Victoria on Saturday.
“UBC is always ranked in the top three in Canada, so each of those games are going to be a battle and we need to be prepared for both,” said men’s soccer head coach John Antulov. “Our first priority is UVic and making sure we play well. It’s our home-opener and we want to make sure we try and get a result from that.”
TRU felt its deserved better after only getting one point out of a two-game set against the University of Northern BC in Prince George last weekend.
