VIU women defeat Camosun on Friday
The Vancouver Island University Mariners women’s basketball team continued outrunning the international attention that recently enveloped the team.
The six-foot-two VIU forward and trans-athlete Mackenzie said she was physically targeted because of her gender during a PacWest home game in Nanaimo against Columbia Bible College two weeks ago. The situation, part of one the most contentious issues of the time in sport, made headlines around the world.
The PacWest allows transgender athletes to compete if they are in compliance with the Canadian anti-doping program, which restricts testosterone below a certain level.
