Vikes take two from lowly 'Pack

The Thompson Rivers men's and women's basketball teams have combined for a total of five wins this season. That number didn't change on Friday.

The women were led by a 17-point effort from Vanessa Forstbauer en route to a 71-57 victory over the hometown 'Pack. Forstbauer, who is primarily known for her efforts on the defensive end, showed she can also put up some numbers, going 7 of 12 from the floor and hauling in a game high 8 'boards.

On the men's side it was all Vikes all game. Tyler Hass led the Vikes in the 88-56 blowout victory, pouring in a career high 27 points. The seniors loudest bucket of the game came in the first half when he capped off a 12 point Vikes run by throwing down one of his signature two-handed crams. The Vikes Horn is already pumped for next Friday night when Hass goes up against Youtube sensation and Calgary Dinos forward Henry Bekkering. The two are perhaps the most athletic forwards in the conference and the head-to-head showdown is sure to produce some highlights. So in T.O's words, "Getcha popcorn ready."
