Quotable:
Head Coach Al Tuscherer
"It was a big weekend in terms of standings, so we were happy to come away with two wins.  We used last weekend and this weekend to really try and do the things we want to see come playoff time, so it has been very important for us to keep building on details and experiment."

Al Tuscherer on what comes next said "we really want to finish strong, and we haven't played our best basketball yet.  The last time we played Trinity Western University it stuck with us and the evening hasn't left our minds.  We're going to be motivated to play good basketball."

What's Next:
The Cascades have a bye next weekend but are back at the UFV Athletic Centre Friday, February 14 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, February 15 at 3 p.m. against the Trinity Western University Spartans.
