WolfPack hold halftime lead before Bobcats mount comeback

QUICK FIRE
  • The Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball team couldn't hold on to a halftime lead in a 54-48 loss to the Brandon Bobcats in their final game of the Wesmen Classic exhibition tournament.
     
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Olivia Randall was on fire from the floor, knocking down a trio of three-pointers en route to 18 points. Rookie Kylee Koppes was 7-8 from the charity stripe to score 13 points of her own while fellow rookie Morgan Eichenberger pulled down 16 rebounds.
  • Faith Clearsky led Brandon with 11 points while Taya Clark added 10.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Stifling defence in the first half gave the WolfPack an early edge. TRU held Brandon to just 16 points in the opening 20 minutes of play while Randall had 12 on her own to help the 'Pack lead 26-16 at the break.
  • The Bobcats dominated the third quarter the vault themselves back into the lead. Brandon scored 12 of the first 14 points in the quarter and 19 of the 24 that the teams combined for to hold a 35-31 lead through three frames.
  • TRU did their best to comeback in the fourth but couldn't quite pull themselves on even footing as the Bobcats held on for the win.
 
UP NEXT
  • The 'Pack are back in action for regular season games when they hit the road to face the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver on Jan. 10 and the UFC Cascades in Abbotsford on Jan. 11.
