Men's soccer is the solo team at home this weekend for the Heat as they kick off the race for the Presidents' Cup on the men's side with a pair of matches against the WolfPack. The Heat currently sit right above the Wolfpack in the Canada West Pacific Division standings and look to keep it that way to close out the regular season.

Coming off a pointless weekend, the men look to finish their 2024 regular season in the win column. Last weekend, third-year keeper Ronan Woodroffe set a new single-season saves record for the men's soccer program, as he currently sits with 73 on the year.

Women's soccer has just a single match this weekend as they continue to fight to stay above the playoff cutoff line. Their recent history against the WolfPack in previous seasons shows promise as the women look to secure their fifth straight victory over them.

Last weekend fourth-year defender Sophia Clarke stunned the UFV Cascades as she secured her second career goal in the 31st minute to tie the match, then was able to get another ball past the Cascades keeper to secure her team's victory.

Cross Country
October 12th - Stewart Cup - Calgary, Alta.

Cross Country is back in action this weekend as they travel to Calgary where they will participate in the Stewart Cup.

In their first race of the season, the Vancouver Spirit Run back in September, fourth-year runner Kristen Smith excelled as she shaved 46 seconds off her time from the previous year coming in sixth place with a time of thirty minus and thirty-four seconds. Also keep an eye out for Owen Lloyd on the men's side who was the Heat's top finisher in Vancouver.
