Ibbetson, Falk pace women's basketball to split with Spartans

LANGLEY, B.C.- Jaeli Ibbetson did it all for the UBC Okanagan Heat women's basketball team on Saturday as she stuffed the stat sheet, recording a team-high 22 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals to lead the Heat to a 77-69 victory over the Trinity Western Spartans.
 
Ibbetson got off to a hot start hitting her first four shots from the field. As the Spartans defence starting focusing their attention on her, she was able to get easy looks for her teammates which paid off as UBCO shot 42.6 percent for the contest.
 
Kelsey Falk (Vernon, B.C.) was efficient from the field all night as she scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field. She helped grab seven boards and played very good defence all night.  
Trinity Western struggled to get any rhythm going but a lone bright spot was Nicole Fransson of Edmonton. She finished one rebound shy of a double-double, recording 19 points and nine rebounds.
 
TOP PERFORMERS
Jaeli Ibbetson – UBCO
The third-year forward was feeling it all night long and finished the contest with a season-high eight field goals. Her 22 points also push her season average up to 16.0 for the year, on pace for a new single-season scoring mark.
 
Nicole Fransson – TWU
The fourth-year forward was the lone bright spot for the Spartan offence tonight as she was tough to stop in the paint. She finished 9-for-15 from the field.
 
RECORD SETTING
Saturday's win gives head coach Bobby Mitchell the 18th regular season win of his career as head coach of the Heat. That mark passes former UBCO head coach Heather Seminuk for most regular season wins in Canada West play in school history.

WHERE THEY SIT
The Heat improve to 8-8 on the season and sit firmly in the 10th spot in the Canada West standings as they inch closer to clinching a playoff berth. The Trinity Western Spartans fall to 11-5 but remain in sixth place in the conference.
 
UP NEXT
The Heat will be back in action on Friday, January 27th as they will head to Vancouver to take on the UBC Thunderbirds. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m. and can be seen on Canada West TV.
