The UNBC Timberwolves women's soccer squad is looking for nothing but wins with only four games left in the 2019-20 season. 

Currently, the team sits with a record of 3-3-4 and 5th in Pacific Division Standings with 16 points. 

Half of their remaining games are not going to be easy as they are up against the Calgary Dinos, who have yet to lose a game this season (8-0-2) and are leading the Pacific Division Standings with 26 points. 

They play a back-to-back in Calgary this weekend starting tomorrow (Oct. 12) and Sunday (Oct. 13).

Their two remaining games will be against Victoria and UBC with both games on the road. 

“The Dinos are always a consistently strong team within the conference," UNBC's Ashley Volk says in a release. "They have very athletic individuals who will challenge us throughout both games. We know they are a physical team who have high competitive standards.”

Here's how the two teams stack up against each other heading into the weekend series. 

UNBC TIMBERWOLVES

  • Fifth in Pacific Division Standings
  • Goals for: 10
  • Goals against 11
  • Goals leader: Sofia Jones (4)
  • Assists leader: Sofia Jones, Julia Babicz (2)
  • Saves leader: Madi Doyle, Brooke Molby (24)

CALGARY DINOS

  • First in Pacific Division Standings

  • Goals against: 4
  • Goals leader: Montana Leonard (8)

"Our team continues to grow each year and this year we started the season off with our best record yet," Volk added. "We haven’t gotten the results we had been hoping for within these last few weekends and we are never satisfied with where we sit within the standings, but we hope to continue to progress throughout these final four games.”

UNBC's last win came on Sept. 20 with a 1-0 win against Lethbridge at home.

Both games this weekend kickoff at noon.
