Thunderwolves WBB off to the BOB FM Shootout

The Thunderwolves women’s basketball team is competing at the BOB FM Women’s Basketball Shootout this Friday afternoon at the Duckworth Centre on the University of Winnipeg campus.

The Thunderwolves open the tournament playing the host team, Winnipeg, after the Thunderwolves split with the Wesmen this past weekend. Lakehead beat Winnipeg in the opening game on Thursday (65-56) but fell short on Fridays game 87-74.

“We travel to the U of W ‘Bob FM’ tournament this weekend to compete against Winnipeg, Manitoba, and UNBC. All three teams will be tough opponents and these competitions will help us to achieve our goal of improving. It will be our third game in a row vs Winnipeg. They are a very tough matchup for us but we hope to see improvement in our compete level. Manitoba has good size and ability to score. We will have to play smart defense. UNBC has competed well thus far in pre-season. They have a good mixture of size, athleticism, speed & scoring. A great slate of games overall will help us get ready for league play.” – Coach Jon Kreiner
