REGINA, SASK – Just six players, and make it six straight.

Six straight wins for the University of Northern British Columbia Women’s Basketball team, rallying out a late comeback victory over the University of Regina, escaping away with a 76-71 win over the Cougars on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020.

The early-goings of the game were a tad bit tardy for the TWolves, taking three minutes to get their first points. UNBC looked sluggish for much of the game but kept pace enough to make way for a comeback in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter.

Maria Mongomo led the way with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and four steals., while Emma vanBruinessen was a force on the glass with 13 points and 17 rebounds. Landry had 15 points and eight assists, while Holmes went for 12 points and four helpers. Because of the short bench, Mongomo played 36 minutes, vanBruinessen played 38, Landry was out there for 37, and Holmes played the entire 40 minutes.

With their sixth consecutive win, the Timberwolves improve their record to an even 9-9.
