The Cascades men's soccer team, the No. 3 seed out of the Pacific Division, is off to Saskatoon to face the Saskatchewan Huskies, the No. 2-seeded team from the Prairie Division, in the crossover quarter-finals for the right to advance to the Canada West Final Four

The Cascades are the lower seed this weekend, but it's hard to call them an underdog; they defeated the Huskies earlier this fall by a score of 1-0 back on Sept. 22 in Abbotsford. UFV played a man down for much of the second half, but pulled out the victory on Gurmaan Jhaj's free kick in the 89th minute.

UFV bench boss Tom Lowndes knows that the playoffs are a different story, though, especially going on the road to face the Huskies this time. Moreover, Saskatchewan comes in riding a three-game win streak which earned them home-field advantage for the quarter-finals.

"They're a tough team to play against – very organized," Lowndes said of the Huskies. "Any success we had against them before can be thrown out the window. Playoffs is a different animal. They've had some success over the past couple weeks so they're going to be confident, and it'll be up to us to play the way we can and get a result."

Players to watch: Gurmaan Jhaj has been the engine that's driven the Cascades' offence this season. The fourth-year forward from Aldergrove, B.C. shattered the team record for goals in a season with 13 (the previous mark was eight), and he ranked second in Canada West in goals and third in points (15). He'll look to reprise his heroics from the earlier match-up with Sask. The Huskies' balanced attack was led by freshman forward Nikolas Biakas, whose 10 points (four goals, six assists) were tied for sixth-most in CW.
