LANGLEY, B.C. – Trinity Western First-year forward Charis Wardrope's (Maple Ridge, B.C.) memorable debut has cemented her spot as the Spartan Female Athlete of the Week.

Wardrope had a stunning debut for the Spartans, scoring two goals to lift TWU to a 3-0 victory over Victoria on Friday night. Wardrope did all of her work in only 45 minutes of play, coming on to the pitch as a substitute at the half.
 
Wardrope was the spark TWU needed to edge past the Vikes, making an immediate impact with a goal in the 48^th minute to break the 0-0 tie. The first-year forward's second goal of the match came in the 80^th minute when Sophie Crowther (New Westminster, B.C.) headed the ball on to Wardrope who would put home her second of the night.

Wardrope started in Saturday's 2-0 loss to UBC, putting two shots on target while serving as a scoring threat in her 77 minutes of field time.
 
With the Spartans heading into a bye week, TWU will be back at home on Sept. 9^th against Lethbridge (7 p.m.) with Mount Royal being their opponent the following night (5 p.m.).
