T-wolves' valiant attempt to stop Cascades ends in 77-70 loss
Up against a nationally-ranked team with eyes on a U SPORTS title, the UNBC Timberwolves did not make it easy.
Nikki Cabuco had 17 points, including five three-pointers, while Deanna Tuchscherer had 17 points and seven rebounds. In the early going, both defenses dug in, forcing the opposition into tough shots. Gobeil gave UFV an early lead on a triple, before Shakirova, answered with a triple of her own. Gobeil continued to assert herself, slicing to the hoop for tough finishes in the paint, while UNBC looked to keep pace with jumpers from Sveta Boykova and Garmendia Garcia.
Second-year post Julia Tuchscherer got the Cascades settled down with a pair of buckets inside and her big sister Deanna got to the hoop with success against the pesky T-wolves defenders. UNBC pushed back in the final minute of the half, but trailed 38-31 at the half. UFV came out the more assertive side early in the fourth, as a lid appeared over the basket the T-wolves targeted and they missed their first six shots, while Gobeil and the Cascades built a moderate lead.
