PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. – The UBC Okanagan Heat women's soccer team were undone by a strong goalkeeping performance on Sunday afternoon as they lost 1-0 on the road to the UNBC Timberwolves.
 
The Heat dominated for much of the match on Sunday, particularly in the second half, as they finished the game with 16 shots on goal compared to just four for the host Timberwolves. However, UNBC keeper Brityn Hinsche of Williams Lake, B.C., was up for the task as she finished the match with 14 saves for the clean sheet.
 
The lone goal of the match game on the Timberwolves only shot attempt of the second half as third-year defender Blake Plummer of Juneau, Alaska headed a shot past Heat keeper Talia Gagnon of Dieppe, N.B., for the game-winning tally.
 
UBCO would pour on the pressure in the final 10 minutes of the match, but Hinsche was there each time, making six saves after the 80^th minute to give the hosts their first win of the season.
