Season Story
KAMLOOPS – Sitting in second place in the Pacific Division the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's soccer team will get the chance to play inside the friendly confines of Hillside Stadium again this weekend as they host a pair of games.
Facing the UBC Thunderbirds (9-0-2) on Friday and the UNBC Timberwolves (0-4-6) on Saturday, the games will both get underway at 7:30 p.m.
First up for the 'Pack is a battle between first and second as TRU (6-3-0) takes on the only team head of them in the standings in the form of UBC. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season and while TRU is just 5-15-5 all-time against UBC they do hold a record of 4-5-4 against the Thunderbirds at Hillside Stadium.
Next up for the WolfPack will be a Timberwolves team that while being winless this season have tied six of their ten games. These teams have met once already this season with

The WolfPack come into the weekend with momentum behind them. They took down the Lethbridge Pronghorns by a score of 1-0 in their only game last weekend and have won two games in a row.
