EDMONTON, AB—The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s basketball team is back into the win column.

The WolfPack continued their three game Canada West road swing with a 69-55 victory over the host MacEwan University Griffins 69-55 Friday (Jan 15) night in Edmonton.

Thompson Rivers record is now  7-3 on the year while MacEwan drops to 9-2 as the teams battle for first place in the Explorer Division.

WolfPack coach Scott Reeves stated: “It was nice to shoot the ball better tonight than we have been. MacEwan is a very good team and we got them on a night when their shots weren’t falling. We have to do a better job on the defensive glass tomorrow (Sat).”

TRU outscored MacEwan in each quarter except the third when the Griffins had 18 to TRU’s 17.
