Box Score Kamloops - Down to 10 men early in the second half, the Lethbridge lost their second game in a row on the road, dropping a 3-1 decision to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack in Kamloops.

SYNOPSIS
TRU had 10 corner kicks in the first half with one resulting in a goal. It came in the 26 th minute when James Fraser (2^nd year, Penticton, BC) blasted it in off a corner.  It was the first of two he had on the day as he notched his second in the 61st minute.  He also set up the third WolfPack goal.  That came in the 81^st minute when Anatoli Leveille (1^st year, midfield, Winnipeg, MB) scored his first Canada West career marker. At the age of 16, Leveille is the youngest player in USports Soccer.

In the 51 st minute, Lethbridge's Sean Gaiskey (4^th year, midfield, Lethbridge, AB) was given a red card for colliding with WolfPack defender Finlay McPhie (4^th year, Vernon, BC). McPhie went down favoring his face.  Lethbridge played the rest of the match with 10 men.

56 th minute, Mike Weigle (4^th year, midfield, Okotoks, AB) of the Pronghorns breaks in, WolfPack keeper Lubo Magdolen (2^nd year, Kamloops, BC) of  the WolfPack came out and collided with him outside the box, garnering a yellow card. He was replaced by the rookie Alex Ram (Leicester, England).

Lethbridge's lone marker came on a penalty kick in the 90^th minute when Dominique Point du Jour (5^th year, midfield, Calgary,AB) scored his second of the season.

"I thought we were doing a lot of positive things, I thought we were frustrated in the first half," said head coach Randy Bardock. "The card changed the way the game was going to finish up, but I liked our spirit and attitude and how we kept plugging away."

On goaltending of Nolan French: " He made some good saves for us. But that is the expectation we have for both our keepers."
