History

QUICK FIRE

Five different players hit double-digits in scoring to help the Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's basketball team defeat the UVic Vikes 68-64 inside the TCC Saturday night.

DIFFERENCE MAKERS

Hailey Merrigan was the leading scorer for TRU, finishing with 15 points to go with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Kylee Koppes knocked down a trio of treys for 14 points. Olena Vasylenko had 13 points and four assists. Morgan Eichenberger tallied 11 points as well as grabbing eight rebounds and blocking a pair of shots. Micah Ramsay continued her hot weekend with ten points and six rebounds.
Mimi Sigue scored 15 points to lead UVic, while both Makenna Anderson (14 points, 11 rebounds) and Abigail Becker (13 points, 12 rebounds) recorded double-doubles.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The WolfPack more than held their own in the first quarter. Eichenberger led the way with seven points and finished an and-one opportunity with 17 seconds left to make the score 19-18. The Vikes found a late response however and Tegan Michel had two of her six points in the frame right at the final buzzer to give the visitors a 21-18 edge after the first quarter.
Ramsay and Koppes both knocked in three-pointers in the second quarter. The TRU defensive effort picked up five steals off seven Vikes' turnovers and both Eichenberger and Merrigan recorded a block. Becker responded with six points of her own however and UVic took a 36-28 lead into the halftime break.
A 16-7 WolfPack run to start the third quarter that featured four points apiece from Merrigan and Vasylenko gave TRU their first lead since early in the game at 44-43. The teams traded buckets the rest of the frame and TRU took a 53-51 lead into the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter came right down to the wire. After Sigue gave UVic back the lead at 60-59 with 3:30 left in the game, a young WolfPack squad refused to let the game get away. The 'Pack outscored UVic 9-4 down the stretch, led by four points from Merrigan and three from Koppes, as TRU was able to see out the game and earn the 68-64 victory.

NOTABLE

The game was the program's first win over UVic since February of 2015.
The 68 points that WolfPack scored are their most in a Canada West game so far this season.
With the win TRU moves to a record of 3-6 on the season where they are currently tied with the UFV Cascades for the fifth and final playoff position in the Pacific Division.

QUOTABLE (WolfPack Associate Head Coach Joe Davis)

Victoria is a quality team. Our team played really hard, they handled the ball really well in the second half - we had only three turnovers in the second half - and that leads to winning behaviours so I'm happy for our team.
ON THE PLAY OF HAILEY MERRIGAN "We want her to be aggressive and we talked about getting her the ball in her spots and tonight she had more of a score-first mentality and I think she understands that that helps the team. I'm happy for her to see her play well today."
