POPADYNETZ EARNS PLAYER OF THE YEAR

WolfPack soccer achieves bronze in first-ever playoff appearance Sean Brady EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Ω The WolfPack men’s soccer team was back in black and earned bronze with a 2-0 victory against the University of Alberta Golden Bears on Saturday, Nov. 4. The upset victory for bronze follows a hard-fought 3-1 loss against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Friday. The T-birds later defeated the Trinity Western University Spartans to take gold as Canada West champions.

The win at UBC’s Ken Woods Field is a boon for the ‘Pack. The Bears and Wolves never met in the regular season, but TRU knew going in that it was going to be a tough team to beat. Alberta managed to dominate their own prairie division, going 9-1-4 on the regular season. On Saturday night, the ‘Pack’s offense came through, with goals from Anatoli Leveille and James Fraser. Leveille opened the scoring just eight minutes in, putting one past Bears keeper Connor James on an assist from Mitch Popadynetz. The next came from

Fraser, as Koffi Nyavor sent the ball across to Fraser to score. The scoreboard reflects just how defensive a game TRU played. The Golden Bears managed just four shots, two on goal, against keeper Allan Connor. Connor was in for Lubomir Magdolen, who left the field following a collision near the net in Friday's game against the Thunderbirds.
