Third-year forward Brianne McLeish has been a truly consistent performer for the Vikes over the course of her first three seasons with her hometown Vikes. Coming into action this weekend she leads Victoria with four points (2G, 2A) and is one goal shy of matching each of the previous two seasons. With the Vikes clinging to a one-point lead in the Pacific Division playoff race, it'll be important for McLeish and co. to bring their best a hungry Timberwolves squad who's more than happy to spoil the party.

Second-year midfielder
Aimee Glasser has been a true good news story for the 2025 TWolves. The Vernon product has started in all eight games this season after only appearing in six games a season ago. Glasser's speed, work-ethic and confidence with the ball are all very evident and her four shots on target rank her fourth among all Timberwolves. Glasser's speed has the ability to disrupt even the best defenses in the conference, and this weekend will be as good a test as any as the Vikes are notoriously stingy on the defensive side of the ball.
