he TRU women’s soccer team saw their season come to an end in Vancouver on Friday, Oct. 30, as they fell 6–1 to the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. The game was always going to be a tough one for TRU to win, as they were up against a UBC team that won the West Division, was ranked fourth in the nation and had already defeated TRU 4–0 at Hillside Stadium earlier on in the season. Coming into the contest, one of the keys to the game for TRU Head Coach Tom McManus was “to make sure we tighten up at the beginning and don’t give them an early goal.” Unfortunately this was not to be, as UBC scored in the 11th minute of the game and ultimately went into the halftime break up 3–0. Danielle Fauteaux scored TRU’s lone goal of the game on a nice play from fellow fifth-year Jaydene Radu, but it was a case of too little too late for TRU as UBC won the game comfortably.
