When it comes to wins and losses, the UBC Okanagan Heat are a picture of perfection so far in 2016.

Claire Meadows' team made it five straight victories to start the new year in Canada West women's basketball with a weekend sweep of the hometown UNBC Timberwolves.

The Heat, now 9-3, is tied for second spot in the Exploorer Division, just a game back of the MacEwan Griffins.

On Friday in Prince George, the Heat went on a 11-0 fourth quarter run en route to a 57-52 win.

Emily Kanester paced UBC Okanagan with 17 points, three steals and two rebounds, while Claire Elliott added 13 points and three boards. Robyn Aulin-Haynes made a solid contribution off the bench with 10 points and four rebounds.

On Saturday, the Heat was more convincing in a 71-42 victory over the T'Wolves.

Elliott, the junior point guard, led the way with 19 points, with Kanester adding 16. Aulin-Haynes chipped in with 11 points for the Heat, who scored 27 points in the paint, compared to UNBC's 17.

The Heat will take its five-game winning streak to Kamloops Saturday to take on the Wolfpack.

Heat men

The UBC Okanagan men gained some more traction in Canada West basketball with a clean sweep of the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George.

The Heat, now 7-7, sit in sole possession of third in the Explorer Division, with three teams making the playoffs at season's end.

Aldrich Berrios led the way for UBCO with 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Cameron Friesen chipped in with 13 points and three rebounds, while Spencer Thomas posted a double-double with 10 points and 10 boards.

On Saturday, the Heat followed up with another solid effort and 78-64 win.
