UFV HOSTING TWU INSIDE ABBY'S AESC

The University of the Fraser Valley's men's and women's basketball teams are preparing for an especially large game this weekend.

And that's just the venue.

The Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre is playing rare host to Saturday's regular season Canada West matches.

Considered a UFV Cascades' home venue, the AESC welcomes opponents from Langley's Trinity Western University.

Tickets for the general public are $15 each.

There will be two student fan zones located behind both baskets and these tickets will be offered to the student body at both schools, with a capacity of about 40 people per end zone at a cost of $20, including a souvenir AESC basketball T-shirt.

In addition to the general public ticket price, AESC will offer boxes to watch the doubleheaders at a cost of $750, which will include 10 tickets and food arrangements.

"When the UFV Cascades take on the TWU Spartans in basketball, the tremendous energy and school spirit shown by the fans reflects the pride we have in our men's and women's teams," said Dr. Mark Evered, UFV president and vice-chancellor.

"We look forward to sharing that experience on a much larger scale at the AESC. UFV is committed to building community here in Abbotsford and throughout the Fraser Valley."

The women tip off at 5 p.m. while the men take the court at 7 p.m.
