The UFV Cascades have a full schedule this weekend as the men’s soccer team plays its two final Canada West regular season games at Exhibition Field, in Chilliwack. The Cascades need the six points this weekend to continue to hold down the third and final Pacific Division playoff spot in Canada West. Currently at 13 points, TWU sits three points back with two games at hand. UFV will need some help from its Canada West colleagues if they are to test he post-season waters for the first time in their eight-year affiliation with the conference.
The women’s soccer team also plays its final two Canada West regular season games of the year in the province of Manitoba. UFV currently sits eighth with 12 points as they visit the Winnipeg Wesmen and Manitoba Bisons on the weekend. If they can sweep the weekend matches UFV will pull ahead of the Regina Cougars, currently at 14 points, with only one match remaining. UFV will finish 7th and qualify for the post season tournament, a third time in four years.
