Canada West leading scorer Maddison Penn led UBC with a total of 24 points, giving her an incredible 43 points for the weekend. Saturday’s game also saw the ’Birds make a total of eight blocks and score 22 points of Brandon turnovers. UBC won the clo
Friday’s game was one to remember for the ’Birds. They managed to score more than 30 points in each quarter and limited the Bobcat’s scoring. Brandon managed to get 21 points in the first quarter, but that momentum disappeared.
The ’Birds have now tied the school record in most wins in a single season. “With four games left … we got a good chance at setting a new record and setting a new bar for us as a program … and getting that first place, which has never been done.”
“It was around eight on a Friday night,” said Spriddle. “I’m at home with my parents, and I looked at them and just said, ‘I don’t think I’m gonna play football anymore. I can’t take four more years of this.’”
While some groups appeared to know each other very well, others did not and used it as a bonding activity. One team, who all dressed in plaid and called themselves “plaidinators,” said that they originally did not know each other very well and wer
Teams also tested their smarts, speed and team spirit with other activities like Riddles in the Dark, Storming Helms Deep, and Escape Shelob’s Lair. There was even Lord of the Rings music and a movie playing to put teams right into the Middle Earth
Heather Cranston sees the 1969-70 season as having set a legacy for the women’s basketball program at UBC. “The coaching style was what really took this group of athletes higher than most of the teams had been before,” said Cranston. “We did fitness
The UBC men's volleyball team decimated the Mount Royal Cougars on Friday, January 20 in three straight sets, with set scores at 25-21, 25-17 and 25-19. On Saturday night, the match was a lot closer, as the sides played out all five sets. UBC took
Even with the loss, UBC head coach Kinder Gill was overall impressed by his team’s performance given the team’s current battle with injuries and illness. “I thought our boys played really well. Good effort overall. We were unlucky on a couple of cha
In the second game, the ’Birds came out on top 4-2 on a come-from-behind win. “It’s huge going into the stretch here. I know [Saskatchewan] is definitely one of the best teams in Canada … and to beat them really gives us insurance going forward,” sa
The spirit of the NewYear gives T-Birds the chance to reflect on both the future and the past. In this edition of the 5-on-5, secrets of the traditional childhood family fishing trip are revealed — the athletes hold nothing back when it comes to th
There is a total of three pools at the new center. The first is a recreational pool meant for the community. In it is a makeshift water basketball court, a lazy river, general play area complete with pool toys, and a large hot tub.
Why can’t the women’s team sometimes play after the men’s team? If your response is “because the men are better,” you haven’t watched enough women’s basketball games and you need an argument that doesn’t belong in the early 1900s.
The second game is where UBC really shined. A reasonable crowd of about 800 people was present for the team’s 102-76 rout of the Golden Bears. The T-Birds even put on a show during warmup, with many of the players displaying some pretty inten
The T-Birds still hold a 13-8 overall record and a 9-3 Canada West record, but they’re still trying to bounce back into the form they were in when they won eight games in a row in the beginning of the season.
