KAMLOOPS — Both of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack soccer teams finished the home portions of their 2019-20 regular seasons this weekend.

The TRU women came out with a 1-1 draw against the UBCO Heat yesterday from the Warner Rentals field at Hillside Stadium.

After a scoreless first half, Chantal Gammie put one into the net for TRU, and Yvonne Manwaring scored for the Heat. Thompson Rivers now moves to 2-6-4 on the season while UBCO is at 1-10-1.

TRU honoured its fifth year players at Hillside Stadium as well, as Taylor Miller, Marisa Mendonca (Penticton, BC) and Natalie Verdiel (Powell River, BC) get ready to finish their final season with the WolfPack.
