KAMLOOPS — In an opening weekend that saw their home matches relocated due to wildfire, the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack women’s soccer club left the Lower Mainland with a win and a loss.
The WolfPack won their season opener Friday (Aug. 25) against Mount Royal University 3-1. TRU took a 2-1 at halftime thanks to goals from Ainsley Grether and Emily Clark. Bridget Baird added an insurance goal in the 86th minute.
However, the following day, the WolfPack took it on the chin in a 6-1 loss to the University of Victoria (UVic). Caylah Lemon scored TRU’s lone goal in defeat.
“You can take more lessons from your failures than your victories, so we’ll take a big lesson today and watch some game tape,” Mark Pennington, WolfPack head coach states. “We said if you’re going to lose a game like this. it’s better to do it early in the season rather than later. The trick now is to bounce back, come out strong and get a good week of training in and make it right on the field next weekend.”
