Abbotsford, BC –  The UFV Cascades were outscored 24-4 in the third quarter on Saturday, as the TRU WolfPack came away with the 60-50 victory at the UFV Athletic Centre. 

After splitting the weekend, the Cascades and WolfPack each see their records move to 4-7 on the season.

How it happened:
It was a slow starting game on Saturday, but a Fania Taylor triple would give UFV a five-point lead in the late stages of the opening quarter.

A Bernie Leda triple extended the Cascades lead to nine early in the second quarter, and UFV would extend it to 12 on an Esther Allison layup, but TRU would end the half on a nine-point run to cut it to a 28-25 Cascades advantage at the break.

TRU dominated the third 24-4 to completely flip the game on its head and take a commanding lead into the final frame. UFV shot 2-11 in the quarter, while TRU shot 9-14 including four of seven from three.

The WolfPack would cruise from there through the fourth to the victory.

Notable:
Fania Taylor and Julia Tuchscherer each posted 15 points for UFV on the night, while Olena Vasylenko had 15 points and nine assists for TRU.
