Dear Thunderbirds Supporter,

Welcome to another exciting season for the UBC Thunderbirds.

A key part of the Athletics & Recreation mission is to enable UBC athletes to excel at the highest levels. All of our student-athletes work tirelessly to exceed UBC’s high academic and athletic standards. Surpassing these expectations takes commitment and admirable resolve. Thank you for supporting them in achieving this excellence, on and off of the field.

Behind the scenes, the Athletics & Recreation department is working toward our refreshed vision and strategy (see front inside cover for more details). One of our key goals is to support excellence at the national and world level. Likewise, we aim to build school spirit and nurture a strong sense of UBC community. We believe the Thunderbirds have much to offer in this space. We invite you to bring a friend, consider a season’s pass, and to share your game experience within your community.

On behalf of the student-athletes, coaches and all of UBC, thank you, and enjoy the game! SincerelyAshley HowardManaging Director, Athletics & Recreation__________________Excel – Engage – Inspire

2014 UBC THUNDERBIRDS ROSTER


SEASON PREVIEW

The UBC Thunderbirds women’s soccer

team was on the doorstep of a

return to the CIS Championships last

November after a three-year absence

before being denied that opportunity by Alberta

in the Canada West semifinals. As the team

learned firsthand, progress is not always linear

as the team was forced to take a step back after

being on the verge of a breakthrough.

“Sometimes making mistakes and falling

short is not a detriment, but rather a chance to

gain wisdom in the long-run,” remarked second-

year head coach Andrea Neil. “The players use

the opportunities of how they felt in the face of

defeat and take that into their training.”

The Thunderbirds finished third in the Canada

West last year with an 8-1-3 record allowing

just five goals all season, a league best, as well

as being a threat offensively, averaging 2.4

goals for per game, good for second overall.

Remarkably, the Thunderbirds played 675

consecutive minutes of shutout soccer last

season. However, the team surrendered seven

goals over its final four games, all against

teams with winning records.

“We have to approach this season with a

tactical style both in possession as well as away

from the ball,” said Neil. “In order to continue to

grow, we must be able to score against not only

the lesser competition, but also against some of

the better competition, whereas that has been

a weak-spot in the past. That is most certainly

going to be an aim this year.”

After a win against Calgary in last year’s

Canada West quarter-finals, the Thunderbirds

season was cut short in the semifinals by the

Alberta Pandas with a last minute strike in extra

time. In the third-place match the Thunderbirds

fell short to host Victoria in a scoreless game

that was decided by penalty kicks.

While the team losses a significant portion

of its veterans, the T-Birds offset that void by

bringing in an impressive recruiting class. Gone

are the likes of Janine Frazao, the two-time

Canada West Player of the Year, goalie Alyssa

Williamson, a Second Team All-Canadian, and

First Team Canada West All-Star Taryn Lim.

That’s in addition to graduation of Second Team

Canada West All-Stars Jordan Kitagawa and

Christina Donnelly.

After a stellar rookie campaign where she

earned Canada West Rookie of the Year honours,

Jasmin Dhanda returns as the crux of the T-Birds’

offence coming off a team-lead six goals during

the 2013 campaign. Dhanda also earned Second

Team All-Star status last year, as did fullback

Aman Shergill, the only other returning player

who earned all-conference honours in the

previous year. The sophomore duo will be an

integral part to the T-Birds’ success this season.

Entering the picture are 10 recruits in total,

all of whom will play a considerable role on

the youthful, energetic Thunderbird squad of

2014. Among the newly added is Vancouver

Whitecaps FC Girls Elite midfielder Reetu Johal,

the product of Tamanawis Secondary School in

Surrey, who is set to make an immediate impact

at midfield. Johal starred on the championship-

winning team at the 2013 Canada Summer

Games in Sherbrooke, Que. and competed in the

prestigious Gothia Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Amrit Berar comes to UBC with two years

of college experience after being named to the

Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest)

MADISON GUY

The midfielder from Langley, B.C.,

celebrates a UBC goal with her

teammates.


AMAN SHERGILL

As a rookie, the defender was the only

player to start every regular season and

playoff game for UBC last year.

Second All-Star Team as a Langara College

Falcon. Berar also has extensive championship

experience, playing for BC on four occasions and

winning a national bronze medal in 2009 to go

along with silver in 2011.

The T-Birds also welcome three products

of the decorated Coastal Football Club in the

likes of Emma Leese, Nadia Langenberg and

Emma Kallner. All three are provincial HPL

champions with the Surrey-based club while

Leese and Kallner also have experience at the

international level playing in Western Europe

and winning a bronze at the 2013 Maccabiah

Games, respectively.

All but two newcomers hail from BC, with

Madison Matulionis and Elizabeth Swoboda,

moving to Vancouver from Calgary, and

Livingston, Mont., respectively. The out-of-

province tandem joins a team with no fifth-year

seniors as this year’s class has the opportunity

to succeed for years to come.

Rounding out the recruiting class are Alix

Varchol, Stephanie Pospiech, and Alisha

Murtland, all B.C. natives. Varchol won gold at

the under-16 provincial championships as well

as a bronze at the under-17 level while Murtland

was captain of the St. Michaels University School

team earning numerous accolades throughout

her high school career. Pospiech is the reigning

Female Athlete of the Year at Handsworth

Secondary School in North Vancouver and will

compete for a starting position at midfield.

“Every one of the incoming players is paired

with a veteran player as their mentor. All

returning players are given the role of being a

mentor, and that’s really important in welcoming

new players into our family,” said Neil.

Although Williamson is out, the Thunderbirds

return Emily Wilson who finished in a tie for fifth

for shutouts in the Canada West earning a blank

sheet in each of her four appearances, although

only credited with three. A pair of second-years

in Olivia de Goede and Marlee Maracle will join

Wilson in goal this season.

Other key returning players include the team’s

third- and fourth-highest scoring players during

the 2013 regular season including Madison

Guy, with four, and Kym van Duynhoven, with

three. The team also welcomes back Taylor

Shannik who was second on the team in helpers,

assisting on five goals last season.

The Thunderbirds begin their season on the

road September 5 in Victoria before returning to

the mainland to close out the opening weekend

in Abbotsford against Fraser Valley two days

later. The team makes its home debut the

following weekend against the University of

Northern BC, which finished with just one win

during last year’s campaign.

New to the Canada West this year are

MacEwan University, based out of Edmonton,

UBC Okanagan, and Thompson Rivers as the

conference grows to 16 teams.

The Thunderbirds will battle solely against

BC teams during their 12-game schedule, playing

each provincial rival twice, whereas last season

UBC faced every Canada West opponent on a

single occasion.

The Canada West Final Four will be hosted by

the Pacific Division’s top-seeded team October

31 and November 1 before the season culminates

at the CIS Championships November 6-9 hosted

by Laval University in Quebec City.

COACHING STAFF

ANDREA NEILHEAD COACH

2ND SEASON

One of the most decorated soccer players

Canada has ever produced, Andrea Neil

begins her second season as the head

coach of women’s soccer program.

In her first season at the helm, Neil led the

Thunderbirds to a third place finish in the regular

season with a record of 8-1-3. UBC was the top

defensive team in the conference, allowing just five

goals against. In the playoffs, the Thunderbirds

lost a heartbreaker, 2-1 in overtime to Alberta in

the opening round of the Canada West Final Four.

They would settle for fourth after falling in penalty

kicks in the bronze medal game to Victoria.

A University of British Columbia graduate and

former Thunderbirds standout player, Neil made

132 career appearances in a Canadian jersey and

represented her country at four World Cups (1995,

1999, 2003, 2007). While she often worked as a

coach throughout her playing career, she turned to

the profession full time following her retirement as

an athlete in 2007. Since then she has achieved her

UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) ‘A’

professional coaching licence and has worked as an

assistant coach for the Canadian Women’s Senior

and U20 national teams up to 2011.

The Vancouver native played at UBC from 1989-

1995, leading the Thunderbirds to a CIAU National

Championship in 1994. She was named the Marilyn

Pomfret Award winner in 1993 as UBC’s top female

athlete and graduated with a Bachelor of Human

Kinetics in 1996.

As well as being a member of the Canadian

Women’s National Team from 1990-2007, she also

played six seasons with the Vancouver Whitecaps

Women’s FC (2001-2006), leading the club to two

W-League Championships in 2004 and 2006.

Neil’s coaching career began as an assistant

under Dick Mosher at UBC from 1997-1999. From

there she went on to work as the head coach of the

for his alma mater and then was the Technical

Director of Cantonments Football Club (Ghana).

Before joining UBC last season, Lisa White

spent six years coaching at Concordia University

(Nebraska), the last three as the head coach. She

compiled a record of 24-26-3 overall at the helm

of the Bulldogs program. Prior to taking over as

head coach in 2010, she was an assistant coach

for three seasons.

As a player, Lisa competed for Trinity Western

University helping the Spartans to the 2004 CIS

National Title. She graduated in 2006 with a

degree in Kinesiology.

Mike Norris, a native of Newcastle, England, is

in his second year with the Thunderbirds program

as the goalkeeping coach.

He previously was an assisant coach of

both the men’s and women’s teams at Quest

University and currently is the goalkeeping coach
