Vancouver, B.C. – The University of Victoria men's soccer team fell to the University of British Columbia in the final minute of regulation, 1-0, Oct. 5 at Thunderbird Stadium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a scoreless first 45 minutes, the Thunderbirds saw a scoring opportunity right out of the gate in the second half. With Callum Weir moved out of the net to try and clear the ball out, a waiting Thunderbird was there to intercept it. However, after a quick pass to the middle of the box and a shot, the Vikes' defence made the goal-line stop to keep the game scoreless.
• With 40 seconds to play, a lazy ricochet off the post found an open Thunderbird, who put the ball in the back of the net to give UBC the 1-0 win.

WORTH NOTING

• The game marked the first-of-two matchups between the Vikes and Thunderbirds this weekend.
• Yassin Guitouni and Aiden Grew each put a shot on frame for UVic.
• UBC out-shot the Vikes 10-4 overall and 5-2 in shots on goal, while also finishing with the 3-0 edge in corner opportunities.
• The Vikes move to 7-2-2 on the season with the loss, while UBC remains undefeated at 9-0-2.
