The skill. The awards. The stats. The leadership. One of the finest UNBC athletes ever.
The ultimate sign of respect is when an opposing team’s gameplan is centred around slowing down a singular player. Their hope, of course, is if that player’s impact is limited, then their team will struggle to succeed. In the case of Maria Mongomo, her name was circled on opposition’s white boards before every single game of her illustrious UNBC career.
At the conclusion of the season, Mongomo won UNBC Most Valuable Player, UNBC Rookie of the Year, UNBC Female Athlete of the Year, was named to the Canada West All-Rookie team, and became the first TWolf be recognized nationally at the CIS level, when she was tabbed to the country’s All-Rookie Team. In 2017-2018, Shchepotkin’s program took another step, topping some of the conference’s top teams and finish 9-11 in the regular season, qualifying for the Canada West playoffs for the second consecutive season. Mongomo’s game would continue to develop, averaging 18.1 points per game, which was 4th in the conference and top ten in U SPORTS, to go along with 8.3 rebounds , 62 steals , and set a UNBC record with 46 three-pointers made.
The upward trajectory continued in 2018-2019, when Mongomo was third in conference scoring with 19.9 points per game, good for seventh in all of U SPORTS. She added 8.6 rebounds per game , and 50 steals , and the Timberwolves finished 11-9. In her third trip to the postseason, Mongomo broke out with a 29-point effort against the TWU Spartans to help UNBC to its first Canada West playoff victory.
Mongomo responded with a 20.1 points per game, earning the Canada West scoring crown, while becoming the first TWolf to score 400 points in a season. She would haul 9.9 rebounds per game, good for 6th in the conference, while leading Canada West with 67 steals – a UNBC single-season record. She would also record three consecutive 30-point games, a feat the conference has no record of ever happening in Women’s Basketball prior.
