SPARTANS STILL UNBEATEN

KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Trinity Western remained perfect in 2021 as the Spartans defeated the Thompson Rivers WolfPack 3-1 in Canada West women's soccer action Saturday night in Kamloops, BC. The win improves the No. 1 Spartans to 8-0 in Canada West conference play, good enough for top spot in the Canada West West Division. The loss keeps TRU winless at 0-6-2.

Fourth year forward Anna Dunn continued her impressive season as she led the Spartan with two goals, including the game winner, while fourth year midfielder Gabriella Low added the third TWU marker.

Dunn opened the scoring in the 24th minute, but the lead was short lived as the WolfPacks Makaela Gelowitz tied the match up in the 25th minute. Dunn got the game winner three minutes later, with Low adding the insurance marker in the 40th minute.

TWU third year keeper Hannah Miller made three saves to earn her eighth win of the season, while TRU's Marissa Young made eight saves in the loss.
The Spartans finished the match outshooting the WolfPack 22-8.

NOTABLE
  • Anna Dunn currently leads Canada West with 16 points, and is second in scoring with eight goals.
  • Spartans goalkeeper Hannah Miller (Langley, B.C.) has only given up four goals in the 2021 campaign. Miller also leads CW with five clean sheets.
  • The current 8-0-0 start the Spartans are currently riding is the best they've had since 2012 when they also opened the season 8-0-0.

TWU Head Coach Graham Roxburgh
"I thought we started really well tonight and were on the front foot. We played considerably better tonight in terms of our decision making and I thought we responded really well after they tied the match up in the first half."
"The second half was a little scrappy, but we knew it would be that way as they played very direct. We managed the game quite well and had good contributions from a variety of players and in the end I'm happy we are heading home with six points after a couple of tricky games. We need to get a little bit sharper and a little bit better, but that will happen."
