VANCOUVER, B.C. – Trinity Western completed their first weekend of U SPORTS hockey on Saturday, losing to UBC 8-0 at the Doug Mitchell Sports Centre.
 
TWU (0-2) held off this talented UBC (2-0) team throughout a well-balanced first period of play.
 
The second period saw UBC score six goals, putting the game to bed as they added two more in the third.

QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Jean Laforest
"Definitely didn't resemble last night. We had some key players out, but it wasn't the same level of hockey from us tonight. I don't think we had the same level of fight that we had on Friday, but UBC did.
 
"This is one of those games that help us with our learning process."
