WolfPack-Thunderbirds Stats
by Lee Dorner, UBC Sports Information
VANCOUVER – The UBC Thunderbirds rode a dominant first quarter to the win on Saturday, holding the Thompson Rivers WolfPack to a single point in the first ten minutes en route to the 97-63 victory at War Memorial Gym.
The 23-1 first quarter marked UBC's best ever defensive quarter, with the lone point coming on a DJ Oates free throw after being fouled by UBC centre Jared Casey. T-Bird fans can hardly blame Casey for giving up the shutout though, as the big man had three blocks in the quarter to help keep the WolfPack without a field goal.
Geoff Pippus and Doug Plumb each scored 16 points to pace UBC while Troy Grant led Thompson Rivers with 14 points. Tommy Nixon and Connor Morgan also scored in double digits for UBC.
Thompson Rivers falls to 1-3 on the year. They will be playing at Mount Royal next weekend.
The T-Birds are off to a 4-0 start, and will be at home next weekend looking to continue that. They host Fraser Valley on November 16th at 8 p.m. and 17th at 7 p.m.
