Cougars coach Gregg Galan told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix that “I wsa just yelling for timeouts. I thought that cost us four points in the first half, when I was trying to get a timeout and the refs couldn’t hear. In the second half, I made sure I got out on the floor, so he could see me.” Hawks coach Leanne Thiessen said “they played the hardest that I’ve ever seen them play. They are very disappointed. They want that (gold) so bad. We just ran out of gas in the last couple minutes. We full-court pressed for about 30 minutes out of 40.” Ryvsay said “I didn’t doubt that we would win, ever. We have confidence. We have the Lord on our side. We had put a lot of effort into it and those who invest the most are the last to surrender.”
