This week for the Heat: This week marks the second week of regular season games for the Heat men’s soccer team. Coming off of their home opener with a win against the Victoria Vikes and followed that up with a tie against UBC, the Heat are looking to keep their momentum alive as they hit the road to face off against Trinity Western and Fraser Valley.

Current Form: The men had an incredible start to the regular season at home with two matches on the Nonis Sports Field. This was their first ever win against the Island squad and helped them build momentum into their second match against UBC where they tied with the perennial Pacific power T-Birds. Coming off of a win and a tie, the Heat will be looking to keep their second place spot as they take on two more BC teams.
Key Players: Second year, Luke Warkentin is taking leadership on the pitch as he was able to make his first regular season goal of the year against UBC last weekend to tie the game for his team. As a 5’11 forward Warkentin is quick off the draw and ready to attack at the net to score for his team. Rookie, Spencer Young has also made a quick impression on the pitch for the Heat as he was able to claim his first goal in Heat attire in the home opener against UVic. Claiming the goal in the 88th minute, the defender is ready to assist in the front of the field as well as defend his own near the his teams net.
Overall Head to Head (W-L-T) vs TWU (1-2-1): The Heat have yet to claim a win against Trinity Western since their first year in the CIS (2014-2015) and will be looking to this weekend on the Spartans turf.
Overall Head to Head (W-L-T) vs UFV (3-1-0): The Heat have been successful against the Cascades in previous seasons, with their last match being a (3-0) victory for the Heat, the Kelowna squad will be looking to keep the winning streak alive as they face off at Abbotsford Secondary.
