Tale of the Weekend

VICTORIA – The UVic Vikes women's basketball team will have momentum on their side this weekend as they travel to Brandon, MB for a pair of games against the Bobcats on Nov. 3 and 4.
 
Playing at 4:00 p.m. on Friday and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, the Vikes will be looking to carry forward their hot start to the 2017-18 season.
 
The last time these two teams met was for the final regular season games of the 2015-16 season. The Vikes picked up the sweep of the Bobcats in Victoria, winning two close games by scores of 76-66 and 70-65.
 
Last Time Out

The Vikes started their season in style with back-to-back wins over the UBC Okanagan Heat last weekend.
 
Kristy Gallagher scored 20 points and the Vikes played solid defence in a 64-54 win on Friday night before Amira Giannattasio went off for 36 points in the team's 78-64 victory on Saturday.
 
The Bobcats come into the weekend still searching for their first win of the season after they dropped a pair of games to the Lethbridge Pronghorns last weekend. Brandon dropped their season-opener 84-58 before rebounding to put forth a better effort in an 87-82 loss on Saturday night.
 
By the Numbers
 
68: The 36 points scored by Giannattasio on Saturday night were the most by a Vike in a single Canada West game in 68 contests.
 
17.5: Keisha Cox paced the Bobcats in scoring through their opening weekend with 15 and 20 points.
