UNBC Timberwolves back in action for the New Year

The Christmas holidays behind them, the University of Northern British Columbia Men's and Women's Basketball teams took to the court on Thursday to launch the 2014 part of their CIS season.

Thursday was a victorious night for the Men's squad which defeated the University of Calgary Dinos by  a score of 80-66, the women's squad wasn't quite as fortunate in their return to the hardwood finding themselves on the losing end of a 77-52 score.

Prince Rupert's Sarah Robin had five points on 27 minutes of play on the night for the Lady Timberwolves
