KAMLOOPS – A familiar foe is on the horizon for a Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women's basketball team that will head to Langley to take on the Trinity Western Spartans.
 
The weekend will be a rare single game affair between the WolfPack (1-9) and the Spartans (8-0) with tip-off scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 15.
 
It will be a shot at revenge for the WolfPack who were swept by the Spartans last weekend in Kamloops.
 
Last Friday night the 'Pack pushed the division-leading Spartans to the limit. Elana Sireni (24 pts.), Jessica Orr (16) and Kelsey Cruz (15) led the way offensively for the WolfPack as the young squad fell by a score of 83-80.
