The two-time defending Canada West champion Spartans women’s soccer team will open its regular season schedule with a stiff road test, featuring games against UBC (Sept. 6) and Victoria (Sept. 7). The Spartans will then return to Chase Office Field to host Winnipeg and Manitoba in their home-opening weekend Sept. 13-14.

 

The Spartans 14-game schedule features a home slate highlighted by a home weekend against Victoria (Sept. 27) and UBC (Sept. 28) as well as their annual home-and-home series with Fraser Valley Oct. 11 (in Langley) and Oct. 13 (in Abbotsford, B.C.).

 

TWU’s home schedule also sees the Spartans play UBC Okanagan (Oct. 18) and Thompson Rivers (Oct. 19) on the final weekend of the regular season.

 

The Spartans road schedule also includes games against Alberta (Sept. 21), MacEwan (Sept. 22), UNBC (Oct. 4) and Calgary (Oct. 6).

 

TWU’s game against Calgary marks a rematch of last year’s Canada West championship game, in which TWU earned a 1-0 win over the Dinos to earn its second straight conference crown.

 

The Spartans, who went on to win a silver medal at the U SPORTS Championship, will once again be targeting a return to the national tournament, which will be hosted by the University of Victoria Nov. 7-10.
