UVic hosts UBC on Saturday
University of Victoria Vikes coach Craig Beaucamp describes Dominick Oliveri as being “right up there with Eric Hinrichsen” when it comes to rebounding. That’s quite a compliment to be compared to an all-time Vikes great and 2000 Sydney Olympian.
Oliveri comes in leading Canada West in men’s rebounding with a U Sports third-best average of 12.7 boards per game after hauling in 18 boards in UVic’s 90-82 victory over the Thunderbirds on Thursday night at War Memorial Gym in Vancouver in a match-up of U Sports national top-10 ranked teams with UVic at No. 2 and UBC at No. 8.
Monkman, out of Smithers and considered the best sixth man in Canada West, will miss tonight’s game due to injury. Beaucamp describes Monkman as a “tenacious performer” and the first guy he looked to off the bench. “Ashlyn has such a natural gift for scoring but she does it so quietly without being showy or flashy,” said UVic head coach Carrie Watts.
“Those two are going to be big losses for us next season but we are excited for their final home games and what is ahead in the playoffs this year,” said Watts.
