Game Recap: Men's Soccer | | TRU WolfPack

‘Pack fall to Cascades in Abbotsford

QUICK FIRE
  • Two goals in the second half sent the host UFV Cascades to victory over the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's soccer team Friday night.
     
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Kevin Mailand and Roland Mansell scored for the Cascades with Mateo Brazinha providing a pair of assists.
  • Elijah Dos Santos fired a pair of shots towards net for TRU while Luca Ortu made two saves in net for the 'Pack.
     
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • A back-and-forth game remained scoreless at the half. Ryan Olak threatened early for the 'Pack with a pair of shots in just the first five minutes of play but neither team found the back of the net as they entered the halftime break with three shots apiece.
  • The Fraser Valley breakthrough came against the run of play early in the second half. With the WolfPack pressing Mailand put together a great individual effort to speed down the wing and deep into the WolfPack 18-yard box before bundling the ball over the goal line.
  • That lead was doubled in the 73rd minute. A three-on-two break for UFV saw Brazinha play a perfect ball across the face of goal to Mansell who made no mistake with the tap-in at the back post.
  • TRU refused to go down without a fight and created some prime goal-scoring opportunities the rest of the way.
  • Their best chance came off of a free-kick from just outside the 18-yard box but captain Dos Santos' great curling effort skipped just wide of the post.

NOTABLE
  • TRU moves to 1-9-1 on the season with the result. UFV is now 6-3-2.
 
UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will remain in the Lower Mainland for another game tomorrow night against the TWU Spartans in Langley. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
