GOOD LUCK ON THURSDAY!

NOT PACKING IT IN

WolfPack men’s basketball falls in CanWest gold medal game, but continues to CIS Final Eight

T

he WolfPack were in Calgary this past weekend to take part in their first-ever Canada West final four tournament. The ‘Pack won their semifinal matchup against the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds before dropping the championship game to the host University of Calgary Dinos. The second place finish was good enough to extend TRU’s season however, as they booked themselves a ticket to the CIS final eight tournament. “The goal was to make it to the national tournament so obviously you can check that box. By the same token one of the other goals was to be a Canada West champion and we came up just a bit short in regards to that goal,” said head coach Scott Clark. TRU dropped the championship game to the Dinos by a score of 94–81. The WolfPack came out firing on all cylinders to start the game, making four straight shots from beyond the threepoint arc to take an early 12–2 lead. The number-one-seeded Dinos hung around however, and led 25–21 after the first quarter.
