Vikes can't catch Cascades in Friday night matchup

Abbotsford, B.C. – The University of Victoria women's basketball team opened its first road trip of the 2023-24 season with an 89-65 loss to the University of the Fraser Valley, Nov. 10.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Vikes were held scoreless for three minutes to open the game, before a Sierra Reisig jumper put points on the board for UVic with just under seven minutes to go.
  • Though the Cascades worked their way to a 10-point lead, 13-3, two pairs of free throws by Abigail Becker and Makena Anderson brought UVic back within six, 13-7, at the halfway point of the first quarter.
  • UFV added nine points to the Vikes' three in the final two minutes to take a 28-15 lead after the first 10 minutes of play.
  • Finding a way to rally back after the Cascades' lead grew to 24 over the opening half of the second quarter, a Brooklyn White free throw, Anderson three-pointer and Becker bucket brought UFV's lead to 44-26 with two and a half minutes to play in the second.
  • Three's from Karis de Paiva and Anderson kept the Vikes within striking distance, bringing the score to 52-33 at the half.
  • Coming out of the halftime break firing, an 11-2 Vikes run over the first two minutes pulled Victoria within 13, 54-41, thanks in part to three's from Tegan MacKinnon and Anderson.
  • UFV garnered momentum in the later half of the third, ending on a 6-0 run to take a 79-52 lead into the fourth quarter.
  • Though making three of their eight three-pointers in the final frame and out-scoring the Cascades, 13-10,  it was not enough for the Vikes to overcome the deficit and ultimately fell, 89-65.
WORTH NOTING
  • Becker recorded team-highs in points (18), rebounds (9), and blocks (2) for UVic. All three are also season-highs for Becker.
  • Anderson finished with a season-high 12 points including going 3-for-4 from three, along with seven rebounds and a team-high two assists in 24 minutes on the floor.
  • Reisig added a season-high 12 points to round out the Vikes' double-digit point scorers, also adding four rebounds and one steal.
  • The Vikes move to 0-3 on the season, while the Cascades improve to 3-0 with the win.
