Victoria Highlanders FC (2-0-1) have a lot to celebrate from Week 4 action of the USL League Two season.
1) JOSHUA WALTERS EARNS GOAL OF THE WEEK

Nearly a perfect free kick from our Captain, Joshua Walters, earned him the Goal of The Week honours for Week 4 in the USL League Two.

Seattle Sounders U23 were up 1-0 in the 27th minute, but the lead was short lived as Joshua curled his free kick from outside the box into the top left corner of the goal behind a diving Campuzano to tie the game at one.

This is the first time the Highlanders have earned Goal of the Week honours in recent memory.

2) CONNOR GUILHERME EARNS USL LEAGUE 2 TEAM OF THE WEEK

First year Highlanders defender, Connor Guilherme, formerly of the Vancouver Whitecaps U23 has found himself on the Team of the Week roster for the 2nd week running after a great defensive performance against Sounders U23 where he also scored the match winner.

3) TY VENHOLA CALLED UP TO PACIFIC FC TO COVER INJURY

The Victoria Highlanders have provided cover to Pacific FC (PFC) for their upcoming away match with the injury permit of current Highlanders goalkeeper Tyrone Venhola, approved by Head Coach Thomas Niendorf.

Former Highlanders goalkeeper Nolan Wirth, PFC, is currently nursing an ankle injury which now provides Ty an opportunity with the CPL based club.
