PRINCE GEORGE — Another new face added today by the UNBC Timberwolves. The Women’s Basketball Team announced the recruitment of Maggie Mowser, a 6-foot tall forward from Calgary.

Head coach Sergey Shchepotkin praised Mowser as a tantalizing package of projection and passion, “She obviously has great size, but she has shown she has the ability to play under the basket or step outside and stretch defenses. We believe if Maggie continues to work, she is someone who projects as a player who will help us on offense, defense, and on the boards.”

Despite never stepping foot on campus due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Calgary product said she chose the Timberwolves because, “I felt like they are a good, competitive team. They have a good record. Their coaches are good at developing players and making them better. They are versatile, and I felt like I could fit in and have something to contribute to the team.

“It’s really exciting. I have put in a lot of hard work, so it is really rewarding for me to get to see that pay off. I am ready to get started. For me to get here, I have had to work very hard. I have put in a lot of hours in the gym, training outside of team practices, trying to develop my fundamental skills. Also, strength training, to prepare myself for the physicality of post-secondary.”
