Spartans Drop Two to Vikes
TWU pushes Victoria down the stretch

VICTORIA, British Columbia - The Trinity Western University women's basketball team dropped Saturday night's game 66-53 to the University of Victoria Saturday night in Victoria. The Spartans matched the Vikes for most of the game and trailed by one 44-43 with less than eight minutes remaining. However, tonight was Victoria's night as the Vikes closed out the game with a 22-10 run to earn their second win in two nights.

The Spartans were looking to rebound from their defeat at the hands of the Vikes last night. Trinity Western hit hard early with to hot-handed 3-pointers from Kelly Konrad (3rd year, Mt. Lehman, B.C.) and Taylor Stuart (5th year, Surrey, B.C.).

The Trinity Western defense clamped down on the likes of Hatfield under the basket as Victoria found it difficult to make to score early.

UVic took the lead for the first time in the 16th minute with a 12-5 run to put them up 20-19.

Teams traded baskets from this point in the half. UVic carried a slender 33-32 lead going into the break after a steal by rookie Ashley Yee (Victoria). Yee carried the ball the length of the court and laid it in with just seconds to go on the clock.

The scoring in the second half started slowly with the first basket coming three minutes in from the Spartans' Laura Craig (1st year, Delta, B.C.).

The turning point of the game came courtesy of Hewson, whose back-to-back 3-pointer and lay-in gave the Vikes a 49-43 lead.

UVic pressured the Trinity Western defense, as Hatfield was hitting consistently under the hoop as several of her teammates were able to find the tall forward inside the paint.

The Trinity Western offense went flat in the second half, shooting only 27% from the field compared to UVic's 62%.

Hewson's 5-6 from the field and 5-6 from the free throw line assured the Vikes would remain out front to the final buzzer, rearning them a 66-53 victory.
