Mason Loewen had 15 and Justin Kinnear added 14, while Taylor Montgomery-Stinson and Jordan Chares chipped in with 13 each. Scott Kellum added 12.
Vartan Tanielian was the game鈥檚 top scorer with 24 points for the Spartans.
The Vikes women suffered their first two losses of the campaign, following Friday鈥檚 setback with a 70-63 loss to the Spartans, who have now won five straight to improve to 5-1. Victoria slips to 4-2.
Again it was Tessa Ratzlaff and Jessie Brown who led the Spartans with 18 and 16 points, respectively. Kristy Gallagher led all scorers, with 21 for the Vikes while Ashlyn Day had 11 and Amira Giannattasio recorded 10.
Coach Dani Sinclair鈥檚 Vikes were scoring at a 79.8 points per game entering the weekend, but struggled against the TWU defence and ability to rebound.
