UNBC Sports Update

By Diane Hypolite

UNBC Basket Ball

Since the last day update
the Timberwolves, Men’s and
Women’s teams, has experi-
enced a slight roller coaster
effect. January 25, the Lady
Timberwolves won 76-62
against the Kwantlen Eagles
but then ended up losing 71-
76-to the Douglas College
Royals._Ouch! This was a bit
of a burn sinc Royals
have been beaten by every
one else, pretty much, have
placed last in BCCAA
women’s play. That’s alright,
though, because the Lady T-
Wolves moved up one to sev-

enth place in the BCCAA.

The Men’s basketball team
also went one for one that
weekend. They lost 73-75 to
the Eagles. Todd Jordan has
been recognized that game,
however for showing some
incredible skill on the court.
He shot 3 out of four perfect 3
pointers and all ina row! The
next night, the T-Wolves
cleaned up though with a
crushing defeat of the Royals
79-61! They also led most of
the game by ten points. Nice
job guys! Now are they sit-
ting comfortably in place at
6th in the BCCAA.

Star Awards go out to:

*Christina Neufeld (#7, Fort
Nelson): She ranks 4th in the

province for average
rebounds per game at 9.38,
and she’s steadily climbing.

eDean Whalen (#10, Pt.
Coquitlam): He’s leading the
BCCAA in average points per
game at 26.69.

eRaju Korotana (#4,
Richmond): Watch out
Whalen! He’s coming up fast
behind at 5th with 8.69.

eMike Davis (#14,
Richmond): He’s keeping
pace with Korotana, also sit-
ting in 5th with an average
6.31 assists per game.

UNBC Hockey:

The Wolfpack has been
pretty busy! They were unde-
feated at their second inter-

collegiate tournament hosted
at Trinity with one win and
two draws. They tied against
UCC 3-3 and TWV 2-2.
Sunday, January 25 was their
triumph though, completely
obliterating the Selkirk by an
amazing 23-41 When you
add this to the fact that two
players, Lee Drummond
(#10, Yukon Territories) and
Ryan Dawson (#5, Prince
George) were down and out,
forcing the Wolfpack down to
three defensemen and eight
forwards, it almost seems
eerie!
Star Award goes out to:

eDerek LeBouef (#1,
Saskatchewan): He’s been
named MVP.

NUGSS EGM

By Colleen O’Grady

On Wednesday, February 6
the Northern Undergraduate
Student Society (NUGSS)
held their Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) after
the previous Wednesday
when they failed to make
quorum (number of people
attending) at their Annual
General Meeting (AGM).
The agenda moved the Audit
Report to the first item on the
agenda conducted by an
independent auditor, and
then completed the financial
report presented by the
NUGSS Director of Finance.
The third item on the agenda
was to amend the by-laws.
Most of the by-laws were just
for clarification and grammar,
however in the by-laws did
change the rate that people
will pay for NUGSS fees, for
regional students it will be
cheaper, but for main cam-

pus it will be more expensive.
At the EGM held in the fall
Student fees were made to
be a.fixed rate of 30 dollars
per semester for every stu-
dent regardless of credit
load. At this EGM the

NUGSS fee was increased to.

32 dollars per semester for
students studying at the
Prince George Campus, and
22 dollars for students study-
ing elsewhere. The other
non-grammatical or arrange-
ment changes in the by-laws
included that a NUGSS direc-
tor should now visit major
UNBC campuses once per
semester. These campuses

are Fort St. John, Quesnel, -

and Terrace. In the health
and dental plan to come into
effect in September are now
in the bi-laws. After the bi-
laws the Directors gave their
reports. They elected an
Auditor for next year and then
adjourned the meeting.

UNBC 2 -TWU 2. The UNBC
Wolfpack held leads late into
the third period in both the
UCC and TWU games, but
ran out of steam late in both
cases. The team played
exceptionally well consider-
ing the adversities it faced.
Separated shoulders to Lee
Drummond — and Ryan
Dawson forced the Wolfpack
to 4 defensemen and 7 for-
wards in an already limited
lineup during their first game
versus UCC, which was
broadcasted on CFUR. With
no trainers available to the
Wolfpack, the team was left
under-resourced, but made
up for it with enormous
heart, skill, and determina-
tion against UCC and TWU,
who both held four lines
each, as well as a full coach-
ing staff. Many onlookers
stated that it said a lot about
the players’ contributions to
the team.

The Wolfpack’s MVP of
the tournament would have
to be second-year goalie
Derek LeBouef, as he kept
the Wolfpack in all of the
games.

The UNBC men’s hockey
team has a 2-0-1 record vs
UCC, 0-1-1 vs TWU and 2-

They look forward | to
increased community support
next season, with hopes of
new potential sponsorship
deals. They would like to
thank Big-O tires, White Spt,
KPMG, Dr. D R. Rigler
Chiropractic and the Alpine
Pub for their support this sea-
son.

: The team is currently on an
8 game undefeated streak,
and hopes to continue this
trend within the top Men’s
division in Prince George.
