Weekend Story
 
KAMLOOPS – After a slight setback last weekend the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's soccer team will look to regain their red hot form at home this weekend. The 'Pack will play a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves.
 
With both games getting underway at 7:45 p.m., the matches will feature a pair of teams that are near the top of the Canada West standings after two weeks of action.
 
TRU ran their win streak to three-straight games to start the season last weekend with a 1-0 victory over the Fraser Valley Cascades on Friday night. The 'Pack then suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday when two defensive lapses and three crossbars hit cost them in a 2-1 defeat to the Trinity Western Spartans.
 
For the Timberwolves it was a dream weekend last time out. UNBC took down the UVic Vikes by scores of 4-1 and 3-0 to move their record to 2-1-1 on the year.
 
The WolfPack hold a record of 9-3-3 vs. the Timberwolves in all-time Canada West action but UNBC did take the last meeting between the teams in late October of last season.
