Parman Minhas scored, and Taylor Richardson once again provided the winner as the UFV Cascades toppled the Trinity Western Spartans for the second game in a row. 

With the win, the Cascades (5-4-2) jump past the Spartans (5-7-2) and the UBCO Heat into the final playoff spot in the Canada West pacific division. 

Trinity Western started the game strong when Jordan Low finished off a cross from Mikey Dale in the 11^thminute.

UFV slowly worked themselves back into the match, and they found their equalizer off the foot of Minhas in the 34^th. Mikael Mainella swung in a ball that found Minhas in the box, and the forward made no mistake calmly chipping it over the keeper and into the net.

The teams traded chances back and forth in the middle portion of the game, but once again Richardson chose to become the hero. Manpal Brar flicked a header forward, and in a similar fashion to Friday night Richardson got his way onto the end of it to bury the eventual winner.

This marked Richardson's team-leading sixth goal, and his third game winning goal of the campaign.

"It's always a heated one whenever you are in a derby like this or a big occasion you know it's a big moment" first-year forward Mateo Brazinha said about his first experience playing in the Canada West rivalry weekend against TWU. "I'm really happy we took advantage of that and got the 3 points."

"We work for each other, and that's what I think this team is all about. I think today's performance and the last couple, even Friday night really showed the hard work we do here."

Both teams are at home next weekend to take on UBC and Victoria, as the Spartans finish off their regular season schedule. The Cascades meanwhile have four games remaining as they will host the UNBC Timberwolves the following week. 

Minhas spoke postgame about the importance of closing out their final four regular season games at home.

"We've built Rotary as a fortress now and we are going to make every game competitive. We have belief in our team and belief in the system so we're just going to keep it going."
