Weekend Story
KAMLOOPS – It's a third week in a row at home for a Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball team that is nearing the midway point of their Canada West schedule for the first semester.
Taking on the UFV Cascades (3-1) at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, the 'Pack (0-4) will be taking on a squad that made it all the way to the U SPORTS Championship tournament last season.
TRU fought hard against one of the top teams in the country last weekend. A young WolfPack squad fell by scores of 88-48 and 74-43 against the No. 2 ranked team in the nation, the UBC Thunderbirds. Fourth-year guard
Danijela Kovacevic was named the WolfPack Athlete of the Week after a consistent weekend that saw her put up 23 points, five assists and four steals over the two games.
The Cascades defeated the UBC Okanagan Heat in a pair of close games at home last weekend. After surging out to 76-63 win on Friday, UFV needed overtime to defeat the Heat on Saturday in an 84-75 victory.
The two teams played a pair of games in Kamloops last season with the Cascades picking up victory in both games.
