The Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team continues to steamroll their opponents.
The Spartans scored another 10 goals — they have 15 in their last three games — in defeating the Winnipeg Wesmen 4-0 and the Manitoba Bisons 6-0 at TWU’s Rogers Field over the weekend.
The wins stretched their unbeaten streak to 11 games (9-0-2) as they head into the final weekend of the Canada West regular season with a chance to secure top spot.
The Spartans (9-1-2, 29 points) face Victoria (7-2-3, 24 points) on Friday and UBC (10-1-1, 31 points) on Saturday. UBC is the lone team to beat Trinity Western this season.
Krista Gommeringer scored twice while Ali Oliverio, Isabella Di Trocchio, Amy Gartke and Brooklyn Tidder had the other goals. Rachel Hutchinson had three assists.
In the previous game, Oliverio scored three times while Jenaya Robertson had the other.
“I can’t think of one player who didn’t put in the performance that we wanted,” said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh.
The Spartans lead the conference with 36 goals — seven more than their nearest competitor — and have also conceded a league-low six goals against.
“I think we’re just passing with a little more confidence,” the coach said about the team’s offensive success of late.
“We’re speeding up play and understanding each other a little bit more. Sometimes you just get into a groove where the passing and the movement is excellent and sometimes the ball goes in and sometimes it doesn’t.”
