KAMLOOPS – An excellent 2024 campaign for Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's soccer player Marcus D'Andrea has been rewarded by the Canada West conference.
 
CANADA WEST RELEASE

The first-year defender from Burnaby was selected for the Canada West All-Rookie team after an outstanding freshman season for the 'Pack.
 
Starting all 16 games and playing over 1300 minutes, D'Andrea was a standout on a young WolfPack squad in 2024. A speedy wingback with great skills on the ball, he was a force for TRU both defensively and in getting forward to help in the attack.
 
"I'm super happy for Marcus, it's a well-deserved honour," said WolfPack head coach John Antulov. "He's a player that shows great consistency, is technically sound and great at defending one-on-one. He sees the game really well and just works non-stop. He trains the way he plays, wants to learn and wants to get better everyday, so I think the ceiling for Marcus is huge."
 
D'Andrea's achievement is the 18th time since 2015 that a member of the 'Pack has earned a spot on the Canada West All-Star team and joins the prestigious group of Josh Banton, Jan Pirretas-Glasmacher, Akwasi Agyekum and Elijah Dos Santos as TRU players that have been named to the All-Rookie team.
