Aieisha Luyken contributed 12 points in UFV’s overtime losing effort against the University of Winnipeg Wesman, 79-70.
The Wesmen came out strong and established an early nine-point lead as the first quarter ended. The Cascades played well in the second quarter and went into the locker room trailing by six points. The third quarter might have been the best UFV has played all year defensively as they held the high scoring Wesmen to six points, while scoring 20 and taking a eight point lead going into the final quarter. Winnipeg would come back to tie the game and force overtime and eventually took the win.
This loss drops the Cascades to eighth place in the Canada West division with an 8-11 record.
