KAMLOOPS – In search of their first Canada West victory of the year, the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack women's basketball team will hit the road for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves this coming weekend.
Playing on Friday night at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday at 4:00 p.m., the WolfPack will take on a Timberwolves team that they played just last weekend.
These teams met in the first game of the season last Friday, with the Timberwolves holding on for a 80-71 victory despite a 15 point, 13 rebound Canada West debut for
Elana Sireni.
Remaining at home for their second game of the season, TRU was unable to keep pace with a high-powered UBC Okanagan Heat offence in. an 97-69 defeat.
UNBC finished off their weekend by playing the Fraser Valley Cascades in a game that saw them fall 73-48.
With the two teams playing three regular season games against each other in 2021-22, this weekend will be the final time that the two rivals will meet barring a rematch in the playoffs.
