Late subs score UNBC’s first victory
PRINCE GEORGE–The UNBC men’s soccer team beat the UBC Okanagan Heat on Saturday.
The team played an away game in Kelowna, and were trailing behind 1-0 into the second half. The wolves were not looking for a repeat of Friday’s game where they lost 2-1 to the Heat.
However after a couple of subs on Saturday, Prince George Native Alex Nielson came into the match and tied the game 1-1, the goal was the first of Nielson’s university career. “It felt awesome. A great feed from Mikey (Henman). I think I scored on my second touch, that is what the coaches were telling me,” said Nielson postgame. “It feels awesome, and credit to the boys for getting me there.”
The T-wolves held their ground the rest of the second half, leading them to the 2- win over the UBCO-Heat. This win improves the UNBC to 1-1-0 on the year, while the Heat fall to 1-1-0.
