Vikes sweep Spartans for series win

Langley, B.C. – Completing its first series sweep of the season, the University of Victoria women's basketball team defeated Trinity Western University, 64-53, in game two at the Langley Events Centre, Jan. 13.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Jumping out to a 7-0 lead, the Vikes used a Tana Pankratz three and layup along with a Mimi Sigue layup to open the game.
  • While Trinity Western managed to pull back within two, 12-10, with 1:20 to go in the first quarter, three-straight Pankratz free throws brought the score to 15-10 in favour of the Vikes at the end of the first quarter.
  • Building out to a 10-point lead to start the second quarter, Abigail Becker gave the Vikes their first 10-point lead of the night, 25-15, with a jumper and 5:39 until halftime.
  • Sierra Reisig's free throws gave the Vikes their largest lead of the first half, 33-21, with just over a minute to play, but a pair of free throws by TWU made it a 10-point game at halftime, 33-23.
  • Claiming their first lead of the night, Trinity Western opened the third quarter on a 13-0 run to take a 34-33 lead with 6:10 remaining in the frame.
  • Ending the Spartans' run with a pair of Reisig free throws and a Makena Anderson layup, the Vikes regained the lead, 37-34, with 5:15 still on the clock.
  • Back-and-forth for the remainder of the quarter, a Becker layup in the final 30 seconds gave Victoria the 47-45 edge at the end of the third quarter.
  • Holding TWU scoreless for the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, the Vikes added 11 points in that time to take a 58-45 lead.
  • Maintaining the lead for the final five minutes, the Vikes closed out the 64-53 win.
WORTH NOTING
  • Pankratz led the Vikes with 21 points, including going 9-9 from the free throw line, adding five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in the win.

  • Sigue finished with a game-high 10 rebounds, adding nine points, one assist, three steals and one block in 20 minutes on the floor.
