TRU WolfPack Soccer Women Win First Game At Nationals

November 8, 2006

KAMLOOPS – The TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team is one step closer to gold with its 1-0 overtime win today over FX Garneau at the CCAA national soccer championships hosted by Langara College.

Third-year forward Katie Clark (Kamloops), who was TRU’s Rookie of the Year in 2004-05 and a BCCAA 1st-team all-star and CCAA Nationals Player of the Game last year, got the golden goal for the WolfPack when she headed the ball past the FX Garneau netminder.

The WolfPack’s Kelsi Butner (Kamloops), a fourth-year defender who was also a 2006 and 2003 BCCAA Athlete of the Week, was named Player of the Game.

The women play again tomorrow at 10:30 vs NAIT. If the WolfPack wins that game, it will be in the gold medal match scheduled for 1:30 pm Saturday
