“We’re already mentally checked in or focusing on next week and our playoff [matches] that will start on Thursday.”
“I think we underestimated them in the third set and they just got the best of us.”
The Sunshine Coast is a nature lover’s paradise. Paddle boarding, golfing, scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing and snowshoeing are all popular activities depending on the season.
We’ve showcased the beginner walks — now it’s time for the more intermediate hikes, some of which can be done now or can be scheduled for your summer!
UBC is the top contender, though the Varsity Blues will try to make use of their home pool advantage and stop the Thunderbirds from retaining their national titles.
After dropping both regular season match ups between the teams, the Thunderbirds had their work cut out for them as they faced a conference heavyweight.
“It’s good to get a win after last time we played them [and] we lost. It just brings our confidence up against this team."
“Having had that first half of that match out of our system, [I hope] that we sort of get after it a little bit earlier and a little bit more consistently.”
In the end, it all came down to two differences to split the hairs: two sunk free throws for the Dinos and a missed three-pointer for UBC.
"We get the luxury now of sitting back and watching tomorrow and potentially the next day and seeing who we end up getting, and we'll start preparing for them at that point.”
The Thunderbird’s hockey program was seeing double this year as both teams ended their seasons early after two tough weekends of playoff games.
With the men’s volleyball team kicked off the weekend with a two-game sweep over the Manitoba Bisons, the women closed out the volleyball weekend domination with a sweep of their own over the Regina Cougars.
Despite the best efforts of their Eastern rivals, it would be UBC who finished on top with 1,151.5 points on the men’s side and a whopping 1,362.5 points on the women’s side.
“We’re definitely one of the top teams in our conference and in Canada, and we want to also compete more internationally."
