Jan 16, 2016 | 6:39 PM

EDMONTON, AB—They say ‘turnabout is fair play’.  That is exactly what the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s basketball team must be thinking after this weekend’s play in the Canada West.

After being swept by the MacEwan University Griffins in their home opener in November, the WolfPack did the same to the Griffins this weekend (Jan15-16).

On Saturday, TRU won a close one 63-60.   The victory drops the Griffins Explorer Division lead to 9-3 on the year. The WolfPack sit in second with an 8-3 record.

The Griffins led at all the post marks: 10-9 after the first quarter, 27-26 at the half. It was 43-42 after three quarters.

TRU won the game when, tied at 57 with 1:27 left, Kassie Colonna (4th year, forward, Invermere, BC) sank two free throws.  Then Michelle Bos (2ndyear, guard, Surrey< BC) made a three point jump shot with 26 seconds remaining on the clock.
