Box Score Anna deWynter's legacy with the UNBC Timberwolves Women's Soccer program will be felt for years to come.
On Sunday afternoon at Masich Place Stadium, the Timberwolves (0-11-1) fell 4-0 to the visiting Trinity Western Spartans (8-2-0) in their 2025 home finale. But the focus of the day extended far beyond the scoreboard, as UNBC celebrated its lone graduating player — Kelowna's own
Anna deWynter.
After missing the entire season due to injury, deWynter was named to the Starting 11 and took to the field one final time in front of her parents, two brothers, and partner. When her name was announced, she received a heartfelt ovation from the Masich Place crowd and her teammates — a moment that encapsulated her impact and leadership over her time in green and gold.
Although deWynter exited early in the first half, the emotion of the occasion was evident across the field and sidelines.
On the pitch, the visiting Spartans showed their quality, scoring once in the first half and adding three more after the break to complete a weekend sweep of the Timberwolves.
Mansha Sidhu opened the scoring in the 22nd minute — her fifth of the season — while UNBC goalkeeper
Johanna Rathke continued to shine, making six more saves to extend her Canada West–leading total to 132. The rookie from Germany now sits just 10 saves shy of breaking the conference's single-season record.
In the second half, Charis Wardrope, Lucy Haigh and Caitlin Cooper each found the back of the net for Trinity Western in the 51st, 64th, and 73rd minutes, respectively.
Late in the match, there was another memorable moment for the home side when
Anna Thorsteinson made her Canada West debut, drawing cheers from the UNBC bench and supporters.
With their home schedule now complete, the Timberwolves will wrap up the 2025 regular season next weekend with a pair of road matches against the UBC Okanagan Heat in Kelowna.
