Women's soccer falls to UBC in home opener

VICTORIA – The University of Victoria women's soccer team opened its 2024 home slate with a 5-0 loss to the University of British Columbia, Sept. 6 at Centennial Stadium.
 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Thunderbirds take a 3-0 lead in the first half
  • UBC registered goals in the second, 27th, and 37th minutes to hold a 3-0 lead at halftime.
Vikes open second half with two scoring chances
  • Victoria saw a pair of scoring chances early in the second half, starting with a Ruby Nicholas breakaway in the 48th minute. Getting inside the box, Nicholas' shot was able to be saved by the UBC goalkeeper.
  • One minute later, Malia Phelan had some space and fired off a shot, but it went wide and the Vikes remained scoreless.
UBC adds two more in second half
  • Goals in the 64th and 90th minutes by the Thunderbirds sealed the win for the visitors, 5-0.
Paccani and Vande Vegte make season debuts
  • Tess Vande Vegte and Isabella Paccani made their 2024 season debuts for the Vikes in the home-opener, subbing on at halftime and in the 72nd minute, respectively.
  • Vande Vegte put a shot on goal during her 45 mintues on the field. 
FROM THE PITCH – Tracy David
"We faced the defending national champions. I thought we started ok, then we allowed the early goal and that kind of woke us up. I thought we played ok for about 10 minutes after that, then we kind of lost the draw there. We weren't defending well, we weren't pressing well. If you don't get your press right against UBC, then they're going to find spaces, and that's exactly what happened to us. We came out and held them a bit in the second half, I thought the second half was good. We saw some things to work on ahead of Sunday."
 
WORTH NOTING
  • Ruby Nicholas led the Vikes with two shots, putting one on goal.
  • Raina Hagel and Tess Vande Vegte also added shots on target for Victoria.
  • UBC out-shot the Vikes 12-3, and 7-3 in shots on goal.
  • The Vikes move to 1-1-0 on the year, while UBC starts their year at 1-0-0.
