Post-game, UBC head coach Doug Reimer had mixed feelings about the T-Birds’ offence.
After a head-scratching 3-0 loss to the Trinity Western Spartans on Friday night, the Thunderbirds came out looking more like their usual dominating roster on Saturday, though not fully-fledged until the second half.
“Give credit to Trinity Western today, they came out and ran and fought and got a goal in the first half and didn’t stop … unfortunately we weren’t able to match it."
The Thunderbirds asserted their dominance from kick-off, destroying the Wanderers with their quick foot work throughout the match.
UBC last loss was a 6-2 loss against West Vancouver FHC on September 30.

Although her ability has a great say in the matter, both Williams' coaches were enthusiastically drawn to who she was a person and her effect on each respective team.
Recapping the match, head coach Jesse Symons commented, “Defensively, [Victoria] do well and they look to attack quickly in transition and were able to get one back today. Overall, I’m pleased with where we’re at as a team.”
The 'Birds northern road trip started off unexpectedly on Friday, as the team lost 1-0 to the Timberwolves.
