One of the major bright spots in the early going for UBCO this season has been the play of third-year guard/forward Lily Pink. The 5'11" product of Kelowna comes into the weekend tied for the team lead in scoring with 11.7 points-per-game while adding an impressive 6.7 rebounds, and 2.2 steals. Pink has managed double-digits offensively in five of her first six games, and her season high in the regular season came on opening night against UNBC when she poured in 15, along with a season-high four assists.
