QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Ryan Hofer
“This weekend as a whole has been an incredible learning opportunity for us. Calgary was an opportunity to continue to be creative with our lineups and to give people opportunities. But we’ve got some learning to do. There’s a gap in some aspects of the game that we’re going to have to address, that we’re going to need to take a look at. But I feel really encouraged by the responses of the team, and by the engagement of the athletes. And I know that we are willing to work hard to close the gap between us and our opponents.”

They will continue the tournament on Friday and Saturday with games against UQAM and Brook. TWU opens up Canada West conference play on October 20-21 when they will host the Fraser Valley Cascades.
