Alberta keeps TWU winless in last three starts

EDMONTON, Alberta – The Trinity Western University men’s soccer team will look to Sunday’s match in Saskatoon, SK to return to the win column after they fell 2-1 Saturday afternoon to the University of Alberta Golden Bears.

Alberta’s Mark Korthuis scored twice, 13^th and 49^th minute to pace the home team, while TWU midfielder Justin Cordick’s (3^rd yr, Anmore, BC) goal in the 49^th minute was the lone goal for the Spartans.

TWU keeper Chris Cecil (5^th yr, Abbotsford, BC) made three saves and played the full 90 minutes for the Spartans, while Devon Fraser played the full match for the Golden Bears.

The win moves the Bears (5-4-1) into third place, three points ahead of the Spartans (3-2-4).

The Spartans will now travel overnight to the University of Saskatchewan, where they will match up with the Huskies for a 2:15 pm match.

The Spartans are guaranteed a post season berth as hosts of the Canada West men’s soccer championships, which will be held Fri. Nov. 5 and Sat. Nov. 6 at TWU’s Langley, BC campus. The current Canada West standings have UBC in first place, Calgary in second place, Alberta in third place and TWU in fourth place
