WolfPack women fall to Victoria in final road weekend of Canada West soccer season

Oct 4, 2025 | 12:14 PM

VICTORIA — The TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team fought back after an early deficit Friday (Oct. 3) night, but they couldn’t complete the comeback on Vancouver Island.

The 5-6 WolfPack fell 3-1 to the 4-2-3 Victoria Vikes, a result that has both teams tied for third in the Pacific Division with 15 points. TRU, however, has played 11 games to Victoria’s nine.

Abby McDonald scored a pair to put Victoria up 2-0 in the first half, before third-year forward Kat Stewart pulled one back for the WolfPack. That goal was assisted by Esi Lufo, who tallied her team-high tenth point of the season.

While the WolfPack tried their best to equalize in the second half, it wasn’t to be as McDonald completed her hat trick in the 66th minute.
