The Matchup

 
The Thunderbirds picked up two points on the road last weekend and are looking to get back to their winning ways in another weekend road trip against two very different opponents. Despite being undefeated on the season, the 1-0-4 T-Birds have picked up only a single win in 2016.


 
UBC kicks off the weekend in Prince George on Friday, where they face a struggling 0-4-0 UNBC team who are in the basement of the CIS West division.
 
Sunday sees the Thunderbirds in Edmonton to take on the 3-0-1 University of Alberta Pandas. Alberta currently sits one point behind Trinity Western University for top spot in the division - but have a game in hand.
 
 

Last Action

 
The T-Birds were down 2-0 to UFV for just a single minute before Jasmine Mander and Megan Douglas scored in the 2nd half to even things up at 2. In Langley, UBC came from behind again to earn a 1-1 draw against the division leading Spartans.

UNBC has given up 14 goals in their 4 losses so far this year, most recently dropping decisions to TRU and UBCO. The Timberwolves are looking to grow in 2016 and continue to match the competitive level of their competition.
 
Not only has Alberta been undefeated this season, they've yet to surrender a goal in 4 games. The Pandas put 8 goals on the board last weekend with a 5-0 win over TRU and a 3-0 victory at UBCO.

Coach's Take

"We have been playing very well through our opening matches and are ready to raise it to another level. We are getting into dangerous spaces and causing teams to defend us for long stretches of time. We are hoping to continue this over the weekend on a tough road trip to Prince George and Edmonton."
