It’s a habit her teammates are glad Isabella Di Trocchio hasn’t kicked.
Burnaby’s Di Trocchio notched her fourth consecutive game-winning goal, lifting the Trinity Western University Spartans past No. 9-ranked Fraser Valley 3-2 last Friday.
Di Trocchio’s marker in the 69th minute gave Trinity a 3-1 lead, and proved critical as their Abbotsford-based rival pressed for the equalizer.
A fifth-year biology student at the Langley university, Di Trocchio has developed a knack for key goals, having scored in each of the team’s past five games, and six on the year. She leads Canada West in winning goals.
For her accomplishments in the past seven days, the 5-foot-9 forward was named the Canada West Female Third Star of the Week.
A year ago, the Cliff Avenue product played an instrumental role in guiding Trinity Western to the Canadian Interuniversity Sports championship final, where they fell to UBC.
The victory improved the No. 2 rated Spartans to 8-0-2 on the year.
