In his fourth season at UNBC, Prince George product Trevor Scott became the latest local to find the scoresheet in Timberwolves colours. Unfortunately for Scott and his teammates, his late strike wasn't enough to spark a comeback, as UNBC fell 3-1 to the visiting Saskatchewan Huskies at Masich Place Stadium.

Dante Molina, Ty Lee, and Tao Hein each tallied for the visitors, who earned their first win of the Canada West campaign. The headline performance, however, belonged to Huskies goalkeeper Jaron Slopinski, who turned aside nine shots — several of the spectacular variety. At the other end, all three of Saskatchewan's attempts on target found the back of the net.

The visitors struck first in the 13th minute after a defensive miscue allowed Molina to pounce and bury his first of the year. It stood as the only shot on frame for Saskatchewan in the opening 45, but UNBC carried momentum into halftime with their heads held high despite the 1-0 deficit.

Early in the second half, Molina again made his presence felt, this time delivering a perfectly placed corner that Lee muscled home for a 2-0 advantage. Then in the 77th, Hein added insurance when he finished low past Logan Pierce off a feed from Misgana Killoh.

The Timberwolves kept pressing and were rewarded in the 88th minute. Isaac Tate, who was a constant threat, forced yet another save from Slopinski. The rebound fell to Mehdi Bounaaja, who slipped the ball to Scott in space atop the area. The veteran midfielder struck cleanly with his left foot, beating Slopinski for his first Canada West goal and giving the home fans a moment to cheer.

But the late push came too little, too late, and the final whistle confirmed a 3-1 defeat, dropping UNBC to 3-3-1 on the season. Steve Simonson's squad now heads on the road for matchups with Calgary and Mount Royal next weekend.
