WolfPack Athlete of the Week (Sept. 8, 2025):

Esi Lufo scored a pair of outstanding goals to help the Thompson Rivers WolfPack women’s soccer team secure one of the biggest victories in program history.

Taking on the nationally No. 5 ranked TWU Spartans at home, Lufo opened the scoring just five minutes into the game from an unbelievable individual effort. The Albanian forward sprinted down the wing before cutting the ball back onto her right foot and curling a perfectly placed ball around Yasmine Pahal in the Spartan's net.

Lufo put the game to bed in the 81st minute of play. Lufo gathered a ball from Lalonde near the halfway line before driving back a Spartans' defender and unleashing a shot from 25-yards out that went off the post and in.

The win was TRU’s second-ever against Trinity in Canada West play.

Lufo and the 'Pack are back in action on the road this weekend as they head to Vancouver to face the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday.
