TRU President and Vice-Chancellor Alan Shaver hoists the President's Cup on Feb. 20, 2016.

For the second straight year, the WolfPack teams in both men’s and women’s basketball took home the President’s Cup.

The competition is a friendly annual rivalry between Thompson Rivers University and the University of British Columbia (Okanagan).

“It was tremendous to be able to accept the trophy from UBC-O Principal Deborah Buszard,” said TRU President Alan Shaver with a smile.

The event was hosted last weekend at the Tournament Capital Centre at TRU.

The WolfPack women’s team beat the UBC-O Heat 70-60 on Saturday, while the men took down their counterparts 88-79. The men finished the year 16-4 and finished first in the Canada West Explorer Division. The women finished second in the division with a 15-5 record for the season.

Saturday night’s games were the last in the Canada West regular season.
