KAMLOOPS - The season is over for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team. The WolfPack lost their final three Canada West regular season matches including their final one on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016. The score at UBC was 2-1 in favor of the Thunderbirds. Their loss coupled with UBCO Heat’s 3-2 extra time victory over UBCO meant that the WolfPack would finish fifth and out of the Canada West post season.
“We are disappointed. The guys rebounded from last nights loss to UVIC and played fantastic. The first goal was a clear cut foul which wasn’t called. Claye (Harsany) had the ball and was hit from the side and lost the ball. The second goal was a mistake on our part. After that goal we came back and played well the rest of the match and Ryan (Glanville) scored a beautiful goal on a cross from Maxime Fieujean," TRU head coach John Antulov says.

"We needed to be more focused and play consistent for 90 minutes. Against Victoria we were solid for 65 minutes and should have been up 4-0 and let it slip away. Today we did play consistent. But our biggest obstacle moving forward is to be able to get over the mental hurdle that we can compete on a consistent basis. We have an excellent core which we can build upon for next year. We need to add just a few more pieces. We had our destiny on our own hands and failed to act on it. We allowed UBCO to take it away from us,” Antulov says.
