After a huge performance in the historic playoff win for the UNBC Timberwolves Women’s basketball team this weekend, 4th year guard Maria Mongomo has been recognized by the Canada West. The athlete scored the league’s Stat Line of the Week and Third Star for Female Athletes across the CanWest on Tuesday. This follows her conference-best 29 point performance against Trinity Western on Friday night that included the game-winning bucket, and 5 straight points to help the TWolves erase an 8-point deficit in the final 3 minutes. Mongomo also added 5 assists and 2 steals. The Spanish shooter and the rest of the women’s basketball team are back on the court today before travelling to Calgary on Thursday.
