The three-peat was finalized with a 96-91 win against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen in Manitoba on Feb. 25 – a contest that marked a rematch of the 2023 conference final.

After being down 35-19 after the first quarter, the Vikes outscored the Wesmen in each of the remaining three frames as it was led by clutch performances from Renoldo Robinson and Diego Maffia.
