Captain Patrick Izett scored twice for the TRU WolfPack in a 2-2 tie with the hometown Lethrbridge Pronghorns on Saturday in men’s Canada West soccer action.
The WolfPack were up 2-0 at halftime, but Kai Sakaguchi and Will Hughes scored in the second half for the Pronghorns (2-2-3) to secure the draw.
"I think we could have been up four or five to nothing in the first half. I thought we controlled the half," WolfPack head coach John Antulov told TRU Sports Information. "We lapsed and didn't keep our foot on the floor in the second half and allowed them to get back into the flow of the game."
The WolfPack (1-5-1) were slated to play the MacEwan Griffins (2-3) on Sunday in Edmonton, but the match was postponed due to poor air quality and wildfire smoke in the area.
TRU will host the Saskatchewan Huskies (1-3-2) on Saturday, Sept. 23, with game time slated for 5:15 p.m. on Field 2 on McArthur Island.
"We are definitely starting to create opportunities, but we still haven't been able to put a full 90 minutes together both offensively and defensively," Antulov said. "Two games in a row now we've gotten results and are starting to see some positive signs. We just have to keep moving forward."
