The forecast calls for soccer.
That's the hope for the UNBC Timberwolves men's soccer team, which was forced to reschedule its season-opening games against the Victoria Vikes last weekend due to poor air quality caused by area wildfires.
The two teams are preparing to meet Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Masich Place Stadium in the first of what was to be a two-game homestand for the T-wolves. That second game against the Vikes will be played at an alternate site to be determined later in the season.
The Timberwolves will be idle this weekend while Victoria begins its Canada West season with road games against Trinity Western and Fraser Valley.
The UNBC women get their season started next weekend on the road, visiting UBC Okanagan in Kelowna next Friday and Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops on Saturday. They open their home schedule at Masich on Friday, Sept. 14 against Regina, then host Saskatchewan on Sunday, Sept. 16.
