T-wolves face Trinity Western in Canada West women's basketball season-opener Friday at Northern Sport Centre
The UNBC Timberwolves women’s basketball team seems to have developed a knack for exceeding early-season expectations and proving to be snarly opponents come playoff time.
In each of the past three seasons they’ve advanced to the second round. That’s remarkable consistency, considering UNBC has only 2,800 full-time students and as the second-smallest U SPORTS university. The new season starts Friday at the Northern Sport Centre, where the T-wolves open their 18-game schedule against the Trinity Western Spartans. The Canada West pre-season coaches’ poll has the T-wolves ranked 13th, and if that holds true their playoff string for UNBC will come to an end in 2022-23 because only the top-12 make it.
“Alina played consistent all this -pre-season and hopefully she will stay on that level,” said Shchepotkin. The T-wolves played some top-10 teams and went 2-6 in the pre-season. They visited Regina, Saskatchewan and Lethbridge , then took a trip to Waterloo, Ont., where they beat Concordia after losing to Waterloo and Guelph. They split on their Alberta trip , defeating MacEwan after a loss to Alberta.
Guard/forward Amrit Manak of Toronto joins the T-wolves for her rookie U SPORTS season and forward Nyemunon Padhal is showing promise coming out of the high school ranks in Brooks, Alta. Bella Mesquita of Calgary is also a first-year T-wolf.
