Danielle Steer and the number one ranked team in the nation proved too much for the Cascades on Saturday night, as the UBC Thunderbirds topped UFV 6-0.
With the win the Thunderbirds improve to 13-1 on the year while UFV ends their campaign at 1-8-5.
Steer picked up four points in the win to improve her grasp on the all-time Canada West points record.
She opened the scoring in just the fourth minute, putting home a rebound from close range.
UBC found their second and third just three minutes apart in the 15
th and 18
th minute as Sophia Kramer and Katalin Tolnai got on the scoresheet.
The Thunderbirds added goals from Steer, Aslin Phillips, and Venessa Tome in the second half to complete the result.
"There's a lot of growth and development that we can take away from this past season," noted head coach
Niko Marcina. "I'm proud of the players for making some progress this year despite being a young team."
Marcina had praise for a number of his players at the end of the season.
"
Alanna Sydenham is a player that had to put a lot on her shoulders. She's had a good season, she's a great leader, and I want to give her a lot of credit."
"Our first years deserve mentions. Maya [Cuerrier] is developing into a very sound centre back for our program, Sophia Faremo is developing into a solid centre mid, and
Sarah Belcher has done a very good job at full back for our program this year."
"The third and fourth-year players also deserve a lot of credit.
Amy Connorton has definitely stepped up, and
Jiya Kaila has done a really great job, as has
Jenna Mele,
Hannah Gamble,
Halle McCambley, and
Jessica Fennell. Those players are regularly putting in the work and their efforts have to be noted. They are going to be big in the next few years for this program."
