When UBC’s all-star forward, Mona Berlitz, tore her ACL in a preseason exhibition contest in her home country, Germany, her fourth season was cut short before it had even begun. But now, even while recovering, she’s discovered how to be there for her team, even if it’s not on the court.

As Ukrainians commemorate the war dead, many remain hopeful that peace will prevail and a free Ukraine will follow despite widespread destruction from combat operations.
With 30 seconds left in UBC’s first win-or-go-home game of the year, the underdog Alberta Pandas were within a shot — and had the ball. But off an incredible defensive play, star ‘Birds guard Olivia Weekes stole the inbound, keeping UBC’s playoff hopes alive.
It was a mismatch from the start, an unsurprising blowout of an inferior team. But for UBC's large class of graduating seniors, their last time on the court at War Memorial in the regular season was still immensely meaningful.
The T-Birds' offensive fireworks were on full display on senior night, with graduating seniors being four of UBC's top five scorers in a beatdown of the UNBC Timberwolves.
In front of a raucous Winter Classic crowd, the 'Birds didn't let two early Trinity Western leads scare them, answering fast before taking control in the second, securing a 4–2 win.
In a spectacular team performance, the Canada’s National Women’s Rugby Team upset the New Zealand Black Ferns with a 34–19 victory. This talented team — likely the best ever assembled in Canada — was made up of the best rugby players in Canada, from coast-to-coast. Among those players were two Thunderbirds.
The Thunderbirds had less than one minute left to salvage their season. Hundreds of people in the crowd — UBC and Victoria Vikes fans alike — stood up, knowing that whatever happened, one of the two teams would be bringing home the trophy seconds later. With no time left, Adia Pye found space down the sideline. She outran the Vikes defence and dove into the try zone for a game-winning score. Thunderbird Stadium erupted. What felt impossible had happened.
For the vast majority of the game, the matchup between the St. Francis Xavier University (STFX) X-Women and the University of Guelph Gryphons went as you might expect for a bout between two similarly-ranked teams. Yet, what blew this game wide open was a spectacular stretch in the first half for Guelph, taking advantage of a yellow card called on STFX, and, including the penalty try that was conceded as a result of the card, scoring 19 points in the 10 minutes that the X-Women were short-handed.
With their playoff chances on life support, the Thunderbirds dropped to 2–5 last Friday night, falling 24–10 to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in UBC’s final home game of the season.
