Brady stands on head as WolfPack drop final league game to Huskies

When the 2016 Canada West women’s soccer season started, Deanna Brady of Richmond, BC was the third goalie on the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack.  On Sunday (Oct 23), you wouldn’t have known it as she stood tall in the Pack’s 2-0 loss to the visiting University of Saskatchewan Huskies at Hillside Stadium.

The Huskies were making their first ever visit to Hillside Stadium and Kamloops to play soccer. The teams were tied 0-0 after the first half with Brady making 15 saves.  In the contest she handled 31 shots as Thompson Rivers finished the regular season with a record of 1-12.   The Huskies were battling for second spot in the Canada West Prairie Division and finished at 8-3-3.
