The UBC Thunderbirds return to War Memorial Gym this weekend looking to extend their winning streak as they host the MacEwan Griffins for a critical two-game series in Vancouver.

The 7-7 Huskies are just two points ahead of Manitoba for fifth in the conference standings.

Despite a lineup decimated by injuries, the Griffins challenged the defending conference champions with a resilient second-set performance before Winnipeg depth ultimately overwhelmed the visitors.

A late first-set rally fueled by aggressive serving powered Trinity Western over Thompson Rivers on Saturday. The Spartans cleaned up an error-heavy start to secure a weekend sweep at the Langley Events Centre.
