An alumnus of Trinity Western Univerity’s (TWU) soccer program will bet a chance to try out for the Whitecaps FC2 team.

Andrew Hicks, a goalkeeper, has earned a trial with the United Soccer League team.

Hicks, who graduated from TWU last spring, is coming off a season in which he was named team MPV of the TSS Rovers in the Premier Development League.

The TWU keeper capped his university career by helping the Spartans to a 9-5-2 Canada West regular record and bronze medal at the conference championships.

Whitecaps FC 2 acts as a feeder team to Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who play in the Major Soccer League (MLS), which is North America’s premier soccer league.
