Game Recap: Women's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

Massive comeback effort falls just shy for resilient WolfPack squad

QUICK FIRE
  • They outscored the TWU Spartans 33-14 in the second half, but the Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball came just short of completing the comeback in a 57-46 loss on the road Friday night.
 
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Danijela Kovacevic fired in a game-high 15 points for the WolfPack while also forcing three steals. Rookie Morgan Eichenberger grabbed 14 boards, seven of them on the offensive glass, to go along with eight points.
  • Cassidy Buchanan had 12 points for the Spartans while Jazmin Avila snagged 14 rebounds.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The game was a tale of two halves with TWU dominating early before the 'Pack roared back late.
  • The hosts rode a dominant defensive performance to a 30-point advantage at the half.
  • Six-straight points from Eichenberger to start the third set the tone for the rest of the night as the 'Pack did their best to close the gap.
  • A 13-2 run to start the frame capped off by another layup from Eichenberger saw the 'Pack cut that lead down to just eight points with three minutes left. Unfortunately for the 'Pack that was as close as they would come as TWU was able to hang on for victory.
 
NOTABLE
  • TWU moves to 3-4 on the season while the 'Pack fall to 0-7.
  • Eichenberger's 14 rebounds tie for the seventh-most by a rookie in the program's CW history.
 
UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will do battle with the Spartans once again tomorrow in Langley at 4:00 p.m.
