Friday - VIU 77, Okanagan 61
Many Mariners fans made the trek up to the interior to cheer on the ladies in black, and were treated to a surprisingly close affair between the toast of the conference and a Coyotes team eager to recapture their 2022 magic.
Mackenzie Cox and Allison Bentley tied for the team lead in points with thirteen, with the former also adding 6 rebounds. Kiayra Hohlweg also chipped in as a midrange threat, adding eleven points off the bench, while Sammy Shields earned a quartet of assists to go with nine points, a steal, and block.
The rest of VIU's lineup didn't contribute much in comparison. Rachel Labrador led all other Mariners in scoring with eight points, while Kaia Simpson and Aysia Kumar chipped in with six and five respectively.
Saturday - VIU 93, Okanagan 54
This one wasn't particularly close. The Mariners took a 15-3 lead halfway through the first quarter and never looked back.
Scoring was mostly a three-pronged effort for VIU. Sammy Shields, Annabelle Neufeld, and Aysia Kumar combined for forty-eight points, with Shields adding eight rebounds and Emily Sprott tacking on eight assists for good measure.
Despite a spectacular performance from Antonella Luraghi, who scored a game-high twenty-one points while pulling down eight rebounds, no other Coyote managed more than nine.
VIU has one more weekend before their home opener, heading down to Abbotsford next week for a long-awaited rematch with the defending national champion CBC Bearcats.
