The Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team’s road trip was not as fruitful as their female counterparts.
Playing in Kamloops on Sept. 12 against the Thompson Rivers WolfPack and on Sept. 13 against the UBC Okanagan Heat in Kelowna, the Spartans managed a single point.
The team played Thompson Rivers to a scoreless draw and then lost 2-1 to the UBC Okanagan Heat the next night.
The Spartans are 1-2-1 on the season and winless in their past three games (0-2-1) since opening with a victory.
“The goal drought continues and the guys will be utterly disappointed with that result,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “We thought we had a very good first half of play, but we have to find a way to put teams away early in the game.
“The guys left everything out on the field tonight. I’m proud of the effort, but we’re still missing critical moment plays to either wins games or keep balls out of our net. Now, we need to get back on the horse and ride as fast as we can to the finish line.”
Kalem Scott had put TWU ahead 1-0 with a goal in the 30th minute, but the Heat’s Cole Kingzett tied it up in first half injury time and Jordan Leib scored the winner in the 55th minute.
Evan Lowther made five saves in the loss. He also stopped all six shots the game before against the WolfPack.
