Camosun College Athletics will be hosting the 2012-13 Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST) Provincial Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships from February 28 to March 2, 2013.

It’s the first time that Camosun has hosted the event, which will go down on the Chargers’ home turf: the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE) at Interurban.

“This is a great opportunity for the local community to watch and support an action-filled weekend of collegiate basketball,” says Camosun director of athletics Graham Matthews.

The Chargers are seeded sixth in both women’s and men’s basketball categories. They will play the feature games at 6 and 8 pm on opening night.

“Having both the Camosun Chargers women’s and men’s basketball teams qualify will add to the excitement,” says Matthews. “Both these teams have worked hard to reach this championship and are looking forward to continued success in front of their hometown fans.”

If you just can’t make it out to Interurban to root your home team on, the games will be streamed live at sportscanada.tv/index.php/camosun-chargers.
