REGINA, SK — For the fourth time in their history, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s basketball team have qualified for the Canada West playoffs despite losing to the University of Regina Cougars on Saturday.

The score was 79-74.

“Some mental errors in the last five minutes cost us,” said TRU Head Coach Scott CLark. “That is something we can’t do. We missed some block outs and not coming up with rebounds. We needed to be tougher down the stretch.  That is what winning basketball is. We made the playoffs which certainly was one of our goals.”

TRU was led by fifth-year forward Volodymyr Iegorov with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
