Game Recap: Women's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

Spartans pull away from ‘Pack

QUICK FIRE
  • Finally back at home after five-straight road contests to start their season, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball team couldn't keep pace with the TWU Spartans in a 64-37 loss Friday night.
     
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Kylee Koppes led the way offensively for TRU with 13 points while Morgan Eichenberger tallied ten as well as 15 rebounds for her third-straight double-double.
  • Cassidy Buchanan paced TWU with 24 points.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The WolfPack led after a tight first quarter. Olena Vasylenko and Eichenberger both had three points and the WolfPack defence held TWU to shooting just 18.8 per cent from the floor as the hosts held an 11-9 lead after the opening ten minutes of play.
  • The Spartans flipped the script in the second. TWU poured in 27 points in the frame to jump out to a 36-24 lead at the halftime break. Koppes led the 'Pack with six points in the quarter.
  • Hailey Merrigan and Koppes both knocked down a three-pointer in the third quarter but the WolfPack were unable to cut into the Spartans' lead as the visitors led by 16 points heading into the fourth.
  • TWU was able to see out the game from there to take the win on the night.

NOTABLE
  • Eichenberger's 15 boards give her a conference-leading 10.7 rebounds per game this year.
  • The WolfPack fall to 2-4 on the season with the defeat.

UP NEXT
  • TRU will get the chance to pick up a win over TWU when they face the Spartans tomorrow evening at 4:00 p.m. inside the TCC.
