A UBC Okanagan player is being recognized by the league after the Heat’s historic two wins in men’s soccer.

Corbin Beauchemin led the Heat to two wins over last weekend with tight wins over UVic and a first-ever Canada West victory over the No. 5 ranked UBC Thunderbirds.

The fourth-year forward scored two goals in the 3-2 win over the Vikes and played a full 90 minutes in the defensively-driven 2-0 win over the T-Birds.
