KELOWNA — Jaise Shaw scored twice to lead the UBC Okanagan Heat to a 3-2 win over the UNBC Timberwolves in Canada West men’s soccer action Saturday (Oct. 4) afternoon in Okanagan.

The result gave the 1-8-2 Heat their first win of the season, while the TWolves dropped to 3-7-2.

Jamie Wildash-Chan and Hagon Kim scored first half goals for UNBC, as the two teams were tied 2-2 at the half. Wildash-Chan opened the scoring inside two minutes. Shaw then levelled the score in the 31st minute, before Malachi Emerson put the home team ahead with a penalty kick.
