PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — The University of Alberta Pandas continued their dominant start to the Canada West season with a decisive 90–36 win over the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturday night at the Northern Sport Centre. 

Jayden Tanner led Alberta with 20 points and eight rebounds, while Kiah Easton-Ihediohanma finished with 16 points and three steals. The Pandas shot 41.7% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the arc, holding UNBC to just 19.6% overall. Alberta improved to 4–0, while UNBC fell to 0–3.

First Quarter

The Pandas set the tone early, opening on a 7–0 run as Jayden Tanner connected from mid-range, Kiah Easton-Ihediohanma drained a three, and Morgan Harris scored inside. UNBC responded with free throws from Viktoriia Filatova and a basket by Hazel Phillips, but Alberta's pressure defence quickly reasserted control. Reece Hall and Harris added layups in transition before Tanner hit another three at 3:42, extending the lead to 19–11. Alberta closed the frame on an 8–3 burst, capped by Kira Airey's late drive to lead 27–14 after ten minutes. 

Second Quarter

The Pandas maintained their rhythm through efficient shooting and disciplined defence. Mishynn Miller scored on a putback to open the quarter, while Easton-Ihediohanma added five points, including a wing three. Elise Toogood and McKinley Penninga each hit from mid-range as Alberta held UNBC to just 15% shooting in the frame. The Pandas outscored the Timberwolves 24–10 to build a 51–24 halftime advantage. 

Third Quarter

Alberta's offence continued to roll after the break. Tanner poured in ten points in the quarter — including back-to-back threes — while Easton-Ihediohanma added seven more. Rylee Semeniuk and Sophie Hall both connected from deep as the Pandas ball movement overwhelmed UNBC's defence. Alberta held the Timberwolves to eight points in the frame, stretching the lead to 79–32 through three quarters. 

Fourth Quarter

With the result in hand, Alberta's reserves closed out the game. Hall and Miller added late layups, and Sarah Kleib hit a three-pointer in the final minute to seal the 90–36 win. The Pandas defence remained airtight, allowing only one UNBC field goal until the closing minutes.
