KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A top 10 U SPORTS men's soccer battle between the No. 5 UBC Thunderbirds and the ninth-ranked Thompson Rivers WolfPack ended in a 1-1 draw Saturday in Kamloops.

Defender Riley Pang put the visitors up 1-0 on Warner Rentals Field at Hillside Stadium with a ninth-minute goal. He went left corner on 'Pack goalkeeper Jackson Gardner for his first score of the season.

TRU evened things up in the 35th minute as Dylan Hooper got the ball on the right side and drove down field. He chipped the ball to the left side of the penalty area where James Fraser broke free and blasted it into the left side of the net.
