Mason Bourcier went made eight of 14 from three-point range to help the Trinity Western Spartans pick up the victory 102-88 over the UFV Cascades on Saturday night. The win boosts TWU to 6-4 on the season, while UFV drops to 3-5.

The Cascades started well, taking a 32-22 lead into the second quarter, but the Spartans charged back to hold a 52-45 advantage at the half. TWU took an eight-point lead into the final frame, before extending the lead to as many as 17 on their way to closing it out.

Trinity Western shot 53.1% from beyond the arc on 32 attempts in the game, picking up 51 points in total from the three ball. Bourcier led the way for them with 32 points, and 10 assists in the game, while teammate Connor Platz ended the game with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

"They had a great weekend shooting the basketball," UFV head coach Joe Enevoldson said of their opponent. "I thought we did a decent job of guarding the three-point line tonight, but they hit some wild shots so kudos to them."

UFV's Courtenay Anderson scored a team-high 23 points and added five steals, while Matthias Klim was one rebound short of a double-double with 13 points and nine boards. Dario Lopez also added 13 points for his team.

"I thought Matthias [Klim] had a great night tonight and Nolan Anderson put in a great effort after not playing last night. There are some pretty positive things to take away from it, but we have to go back to the drawing board to find ways to get good shots, get some stops, and generate some wins"

The Cascades now have a break between semesters before they resume their Canada West play in January.

"The break is an opportunity for us to dive in and see some of the things that we have to do to start generating some more favourable results. We have a lot of young guys in this league, so there have been some growing pains, but we have to forge ahead and keep getting a little bit better."
