ABBOTSFORD — The UNBC Timberwolves women’s basketball team are finally in the win column this season.

The TWolves knocked off the Fraser Valley Cascades 68-63 in a Friday (Nov. 21) night game in Abbotsford. The TWolves are now 1-7, while the Cascades are 2-6.

Viktoriia Filatova poured in a game-high 25 points to lead UNBC’s offense, though the Cascades would not go down without a fight. The two teams were tied at 59-59 with a little over three minutes to play before Filatova’s heroics helped the TWolves seal the win.

The UNBC men were beaten 89-60 to the Cascades as they were forced to play without Evgeny Baukin, the leading scorer in Canada West, as he was sidelined with an upper body injury.

In his absence, the TWolves were led by Haukur Davidsson who finished with 10 points while Justin Sunga and Milan Pasquale added nine each. Miller Davies grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds, 11 of which came on defence.

The UNBC men remain in the basement of the Canada West Pacific Division at 2-6, while Fraser Valley improves to fourth place with a 4-4 record.

The Timberwolves and Cascades will rematch this evening, with the women’s game set to tip off at 4:00 p.m. followed by the men at 6:00 p.m.
