more work to do (as a university rookie),” Friesen said, reflecting on his maturation. “It’s good, though. It’s humbling. I’m just really glad I was coachable enough to listen. Seeing the improvements now, it’s a good feeling, for sure.” Friesen is hoping this is the year the Cascades break through and make a long playoff run. There’s plenty of reason for optimism – starting post players Jasper Moedt and Kyle Grewal are back after sitting out last year with knee injuries, and UFV (1-1) is ranked No. 8 in the nation after splitting a pair of road games at Thompson Rivers University last weekend. “By no means do we think we’re anything but a team with good chemistry with something to prove,” Craddock cautioned. “As long as Joel and the boys keep playing like that, we’ll be happy with however things finish.” The Cascades host their first regular season home games this weekend – Friday vs. the Manitoba Bisons (8 p.m.) and Saturday vs. the Winnipeg Wesmen (7 p.m.).
per game, also had the opportunity to travel to Boston over the summer to participate in Point Guard College, an invitation-only camp that featured athletes from several NCAA programs. Tuchscherer, who was in attendance as an observing coach, was pleased with how his pupil handled herself, and she was named one of eight “camp captains” – essentially an all-star team – at the close of the event. Watching the new and improved Luyken throughout the preseason, Tuchscherer believes she’s primed for a big things. “She’s asserting herself more,” he observed. “She’s such a powerful player – I don’t think she understands how difficult she is to guard sometimes. As she starts to understand that, she’ll really start to blossom.” The Cascades women earned a great deal of respect at the national level after making appearances at the Canada West Final Four and the CIS East Regional last season. They began the 2011-12 campaign ranked No. 9 in Canada, but stumbled on the road last weekend as they opened the regular season, losing twice to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. Luyken said her team has put those disappointing defeats behind them as they prepare for their first home games this weekend against the Manitoba Bisons (Friday, 6 p.m.) and the Winnipeg Wesmen (Saturday, 5 p.m.).
