Statistically, the season has been an exercise in perfection.
For the UNBC Northern Timberwolves women's basketball team, a 10-0 record in the PACWEST Athletic Association indicates that a lot of things have gone right for a highly-skilled, veteran-laden club. The biggest scare for the Timberwolves came on Nov. 26 in North Vancouver when they needed overtime to sneak past the Capilano University Blues 78-77.
On Friday at 6 p.m. the Timberwolves and Blues will step onto the court at the Northern Sport Centre for a much-anticipated rematch. UNBC head coach Loralyn Murdoch respects the abilities of the Blues but expects her own players to answer the challenge.
"We've got our work cut out for us," Murdoch said. "[The Blues] have got some big bigs and they've got probably the best shooter in our conference. We know what they've got and we know what we're capable of doing so it's going to be a matter of execution.
"We're their only game of the weekend so they've had a full week to prepare just for us and they'll be out for blood, for sure."
