Road Game Merry-Go-Round
Jan 7 vs DC postponed, Jan 8 vs CBC added to schedule
NANAIMO - VIU men's basketball is set to return to the hardcourt for the first time in 2022, but it will be one day later than expected.
The Mariners were scheduled to start the semester with a road game versus the Douglas Royals in New Westminster on Friday, January 7, but strong winds forced the cancellation of morning ferry runs between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. The PACWEST announced that the game would be postponed under later in the season (date TBD) while also announcing the cancellation of this weekend's women's basketball game between Douglas and VIU.
However, quick discussions between VIU and Columbia Bible College (CBC) led to an agreement for these men's teams to play on Saturday, January 8. This game--which makes up a postponed game from November 26, 2021--will tip off at 3:00 PM at Columbia Place Gym in Abbotsford.
