New-look TWolves looking to fill shoes left by departed players

“playing with Maddie was amazing,” Rebecca admitted. “She definitely left big shoes to fill because she was such a force on this team. People are really stepping into their roles and taking on new roles to fill that space left by her, Maria (Mongomo), Emily Holmes, and Emma vanBruinessen.”

All in all, the TWolves women’s basketball team has nine first-year players listed on their roster, which opens the way for many to establish themselves into the rotation for minutes.

And there will be plenty of time for the team to get their bearings in order and find chemistry with three tournaments planned for next month ahead of the Canada West season officially getting underway against Thompson Rivers on October 29th.

“I think everyone is going to be craving competitions and winning and wanting that really good game environment. I think it’s going to be weird coming back and everyone is going to be excited and ready to play.”

Landry recognizes it may take a longer time than usual for the team to gel, especially with two recruiting classes coming in, but with the playoff format opening the way for each team, she hopes to be as competitive as possible to position themselves well in the standings.

“This season, I think we just want to try our best as a team altogether and find our roles and where we can contribute to the team,” said Landry. “Everyone makes playoffs this year because of how it works with COVID, but hoping to do really well in playoffs and against those teams that have been our rivals for a long time.”
