NANAIMO, B.C. – Trinity Western are undefeated after week one of the Captains Cup, winning 4-2 over Victoria Island on Saturday.

After the Spartans went into the first intermission down 1-0, a goal by Josh Borynec (Parkland County, Alta.) in the 2^nd period built enough momentum to be one of four Trinity Western goals in the period.

Victoria Island potted one more to bring the game to 4-2 in what was otherwise a quiet period.

The fourth annual Captains Cup, presented by the Vancouver Giants, is a staple preseason event for the Spartans. Trinity Western competes against fellow U SPORTS competition UBC, and their former BCIHL counterparts in Simon Fraser, Victoria, and VIU.
