Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | TRU WolfPack

No. 1 Vikes sail past ‘Pack

QUICK FIRE
  • The host UVic Vikes led from beginning to the end as they handed the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's basketball team a 76-47 defeat in Victoria Friday night.
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • TRU was ice-cold from the floor in the loss. Steve Stinson and Erin Chamble both scored eight points to lead a WolfPack squad that scored their fewest points in a game this season.
  • Aaron Tesfagiorgis and Griffin Arnatt powered the Vikes' attack with 22 and 21 points respectively.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Denys Bachurin and Stinson both had four points in the first quarter as TRU struggled out of the gates with UVic claiming a 16-10 edge after the opening ten minutes of play.
  • Tesfagiorgis poured in eight points in the second quarter as the Vikes jumped out to a 12-point halftime lead that they wouldn't surrender en route to securing the win by 29 points.
NOTABLE
  • The result moves TRU to a record of 10-9 while Victoria remains perfect so far this season at 17-0.
  • TRU is currently fourth in the Pacific Division. They have already punched their postseason ticket.
UP NEXT
  • TRU will wrap up their regular season schedule tomorrow when they face the Vikes once again in Victoria in a tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
