Game Recap: Women's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

No. 4 T-Birds too much for ‘Pack in road defeat

QUICK FIRE
  • The offence went cold Friday night for a Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball team that fell 72-26 to the UBC Thunderbirds Friday night in Vancouver.

DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Rookie Colby Konig led the way for TRU with a team-high six points. Micah Ramsay and Hailey Merrigan both finished with four.
  • Four members of UBC finished with double-digits in points, led by Olivia Weekes who tallied 14.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • UBC jumped out to an early lead with a 31-12 advantage at the half.
  • After the Thunderbirds widened that gap in the third frame, TRU had their best offensive output of the night in the fourth.
  • Konig bookended the fourth with a layup 15 seconds in and again with four seconds left to go. Fellow rookie Izzy Phillips added the first points of her WolfPack career but the 'Pack couldn't pull back any of the deficit as UBC pulled away for the victory.

NOTABLE
  • The WolfPack fall to 0-2 on the season while UBC, who are ranked fourth in the nation, improve to 3-0.
     
UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will get another shot at UBC tomorrow in a game that gets underway at 4:00 p.m. in Vancouver.
