加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學 The University of British Columbia

The University of British Columbia (UBC) is located on the west side of Vancouver in British Columbia Canada. The UBC Thunderbirds are one of the most successful Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) women's basketball programs of the past decade. At the helm is head coach Deb Huband who enters her sixteenth season behind the bench and is the longest serving head coach in team history. She is also the only UBC basketball coach, male or female, to have led the school to three CIS Championships.

UBC's three most recent CIS titles (2003-04, '05-06, '07-08) have come over the past seven seasons as Huband has established the T-Birds as a power in CIS women's basketball. Since winning the program's first title in 30 years in 2003-04, Huband's teams are a combined 112-38 (.747) in conference play. She has led the Thunderbirds to a CIS Top 10 ranking in each of those seasons, including multiple stints as the no. 1 ranked team in the nation.

Last season, the Thunderbirds finished with a 12-9 regular season record before losing a heartbreaking CW quarterfinal best-of-three series 2-1 to the Alberta Pandas on the road.

The 2010-11 UBC team returns almost every player from that roster and is poised to be among the top teams in Canada once again.

Lia St. Pierre, a third year guard from Moncton, N.B., was named a first-team Canada West all-star last season. Known for her extremely well rounded style of play, St. Pierre finished second on the team in scoring (13.2 points/game) and assists (3.5/game) and was third in rebounding (4.4/game). She was UBC's most accurate threat from this floor last season, finishing second in field goal percentage (49.2%), first in three-point shooting (50.0%), and first in free throw shooting (75.0%).

Post Zara Huntley led the T-Birds in scoring (13.9 points/game) and rebounding (7.2) last season, and the 6-foot-2 senior figures to be UBC's top post player again this season. Other returning starters including forward Alex Vieweg, who averaged 12.6 and 6.0 rebounds per game last season, and fifth-year guard Devan Lisson who is one of the emotional leaders of this squad. 6'3" third year forward Leigh Stansfield is ready to step into an expanded role and provide a physical presence in the paint at both ends of the floor.

UBC added a pair of standout recruits this year in Kris Young and Zana Williams. Young led her high school, Handsworth, to their second straight BC AAA Provincial High School Championship in 2009-10. A 6-foot-0 guard, Young averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists for Handsworth and was named MVP of the 2010 AAA Provincial Championship. Williams is a transfer from Utah State (NCAA) who is originally from Vancouver, BC. A graduate of Kitsilano High School, she averaged 4 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in her senior year.

英屬哥倫比亞大學（UBC，簡稱卑詩大學)坐落於加拿大卑詩省溫哥華的西面。卑詩大學的雷鳥球隊（Thunderbirds)在過去二十年間一直都是是加拿大大學間體育聯盟（CIS）最成功的女子籃球隊之一。球隊的領導者Deb Huband教練已經步入她職業生涯的第十六個年頭，同時也是球隊歷史上服務時間最長的主教練。她也是唯一一位包括男女教練在內的，曾領導雷鳥球隊取得三次CIS冠軍的卑詩大學籃球教練。

得力於Huband教練的扶植，卑詩大學在過去七季的CIS比賽中取得三次冠軍頭銜（2003-04，‘05-06，’07-08），雷鳥球隊已經成為CIS女子籃球隊的主力。自從在這三十幾年來首次獲得冠軍頭銜，教練Huband的隊伍在聯盟比賽中拿得總分112-38（.747）。她領導雷鳥躋身於各季CIS比賽的前十名，包括多次奪冠。

上一季中，雷鳥球隊原本取得了一個12-9的賽季記錄，可惜在加拿大西部聯盟的三戰二勝四強決賽中，以2-1的戰局負於阿爾伯塔省（Alberta)貓熊（Panda）球隊。

2010-11年卑詩大學的球隊隊員們重整旗鼓，預備再一次成為加拿大頂級的籃球隊伍。

來自新布倫瑞克省（N.B.)蒙克頓 （Moncton）的第三年後衛Lia St. Pierre在上個賽季中當選加西第一球隊明星運動員。成名於她極為全面的比賽風格，St.Pierre取得全隊比分第二名(平均13.2分),助攻第二名(平均3.5次),籃板第三名(平均4.4個)的成績.她投球命中率第二名（49.2%），三分球第一名（50.0%），罰球命中率第一名（75%）的精準實力，是卑詩大學球隊自上季同級賽中對其他隊伍的最大威脅。

擔任策應的資深成員Zara Huntley身高6.2英尺，在上級賽事中她領導雷鳥球隊得分（13.9分）和搶籃板（7.2），本次賽季中她再次成為卑詩大學的頭號策應球員。其他回歸的參賽者包括上季賽事中每場平均分為12.6並取得6.0個籃板的前鋒Alex Vieweg,和本隊的情緒隊長，已經擔任了五年後衛的Devan Lisson.身高6.3英尺的第三年前鋒Leigh Stansfield已經為成功邁向其擴展角色做好了準備，並且在兩季賽場閉幕繪圖中擔任形象代表。

卑詩大學籃球隊今年更吸收了兩名傑出的新成員，Kris Young和Zana Williams.Young曾經領導她所在的Handsworth校隊取得2009-10年卑詩省AAA高中錦標賽的亞軍。身高6英尺的Young更因為她平均得分20分，10個搶籃板，和四次助攻的表現當選錦標賽賽的最優秀選手(MVP)。從Kitsilano高中畢業，作為美國猶他州轉學生的William其實是來自卑詩省溫哥華，她在中學高年級時的成績是平均分4分，8個籃板和5次助攻。
