AS IT HAPPENED
The Spartans Tchouya Nana opened the scoring in the 27th minute on a fine individual effort. Nana took the ball from the left side of the park and found space about ten yards outside the top of Timberwolves penalty area where he sent a shot to the top left corner to put TWU up 1-0.
 
Tchouya Nana got his second of the match in the 34th minute. Nana took pass from xx and in traffic near the left post Nana was able to get the ball past Pierce to put TWU up 2-0.
 
Three minutes later, 37th minute, Tchouya Nana got the natural hat-trick with his third goal of the half. Off a free kick above the box and near the left side line Nana found the back of the net to put TWU up 3-0.
 
Roxburgh got his second of the weekend to put TWU up 4-0 just over two minutes into the second half, 48th minute. Roxburgh got the ball at the top of the box and in traffic found the back of the net to put TWU up 4-0.
 
The Spartans kept the pressure on as Low put the Spartans up five by converting a rebound from second-year defender Kosta Adzic's (Burnaby, B.C.) shot off a Spartan break into the offensive end in the 54th minute.
 
Stead made it 6-0 in the 74th minute when he redirected a ball from Roxburgh on a Spartans offensive break. Roxburgh broke up the right side of the park and sent a low cross into the box where Stead found the short corner of the UNBC net.
