T-wolves limit Madison Landry to 17 points in her Prince George homecoming
The UNBC Timberwolves fell behind 13-0 to start the game but came storming back, gutting out a memorable 86-79 win to end a six-game U SPORTS Canada West losing streak at the expense of the visiting Calgary Dinos Friday at the Northern Sport Centre.
The T-wolves continued their inspired play in the second quarter. Sarah Kuklisin tormented the Calgary defenders with her ability to penetrate, leading to buckets for herself and veteran post Cevanna Carlson. However, the Dinos are not one of the better teams in Canada by accident. Damien Jennings’s team settled down as six-foot-two guard Polyanna Storie took the reins and earned herself some tough points in close.
Former UNBC star Madison Landry began to truly show her quality in the second half for the Dinos, using her length and ball-handling to get easy layups, however the gritty Timberwolves would not go away. Kuklisin made a tough layup in transition to give UNBC an eight point lead midway through the frame, but the Dinos came storming back. Louise Rouse made a tough bucket and Mya Proctor began to dictate play using her combination of size and shooting to give UNBC trouble.
With UNBC up by four with less than four minutes remaining they dug in and showed why they’re a better team than their record suggested. Manak made her fourth trey of the game to stretch the lead to eight, and the Timberwolves defended with great grit, as Shakirova and Laura Garmendia Garcia created turnovers on Calgary possessions. Eventually, the NSC crowd rose to its feet and the T-wolves earned a seven-point win.
