Men’s Basketball brought home some dubs after this last weekend, Feb. 13 and 15, when they played against and beat Western Washington University and Simon Fraser University. 

On Thursday night, the Wolves came out ready for a challenge and the desire to beat the second-place team — the Vikings. Throughout the entirety of the match, the Wolves were able to keep their momentum and their points, never allowing the Vikings to take the lead. While the Wolves’ offense scored, the defense shut the Vikings down, making the team a force to be reckoned with. The fourth quarter buzzer rang off and the Wolves got their first win of the weekend, beating the Vikings 89-72.

During the next game the Wolves came in hot and ready to beat our foreign challenger, Simon Fraser University. The Wolves got an early lead during the second half which propelled their momentum going into the following quarters. Overall, the Wolves shot well and persistently, kept their lead, and never allowed Simon Fraser to come back. The final quarter allowed the Wolves to sail through, making their second win of the weekend a good one — beating Simon Fraser 76-64. 

Up next, Men’s Basketball leaves for Washington to take on the Central Washington Wildcats on Feb. 20.
