Timberwolves WBB turnovers soil solid road outing against Vikes

A career night from Hazel Phillips wasn’t enough to push the UNBC Timberwolves over the top.

Despite her 19-point effort, the Victoria Vikes found their way into the winner’s circle on Saturday night claiming a 73-63 from the provincial capital.

Makena Anderson was factor once again for the host Vikes who tallied an 18-point performance alongside Bella Graves.

Adelle Bergman and Avery Geddes also chipped in with double-digit performances.

Despite outscoring in the trenches and among its bench players, the Timberwolves fell to 0-4 on the season.

Twenty-one turnovers by UNBC were the contributing factor for the loss compared to just 11 giveaways for Victoria.

The Timberwolves head south next weekend for a pair of road tests, opening Friday against the UBC Thunderbirds before wrapping up their trip Saturday against the UFV Cascades.
