October has arrived, and with it, the halfway point of the UNBC Women's Soccer season. This weekend, Neil Sedgwick's crew has a split weekend, where they'll start tomorrow at the University of Fraser Valley (5:30 pm) before heading back North for a Sunday home clash against UBC (2:30 pm). Sunday's home match with the Thunderbirds also doubles as UNBC's Soccer For Cancer Day where, for the second time ever, the TWolves Women will wear pink cancer-themed kits.

THE POWER OF PINK:
Â
On Sunday, the UNBC Timberwolves will be donning their pink cancer-themed ktis for just the second time ever. Designed by OneTEAM Sports Group and inspired by the pink uniforms introduced by UNBC Women's Basketball in 2025, the jerseys continue an incredible tradition that carries deep meaning for countless people associated with UNBC Athletics. Down each side are the names of parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and colleagues who have been affected by cancer. Some are survivors. Some were lost too soon. All are remembered, honored, and immortalized in this powerful new kit.
Every name on the jersey was chosen by a current or former member of the UNBC Women's Soccer program — creating a unique and deeply personal connection between the team, the game, and the fight against cancer
