In the bronze medal match, Newfoundland thrashed Nova Scotia 73-52 as Jessica Ryan and Sayer Walsh each scored 16. Newfoundland led 33-30 at the half but turned up the defensive pressure in the second half, holding Nova Scotia to 8 points over the first 15 minutes as they pulled away. “We came out very slow and we didn’t play the way we have in this tournament (largely because of the seven-point loss to Alberta in the semis). That took so much energy out of us, both mentally and physically, that I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was extremely hard for them to get up for the game. For a while I thought they were going to wilt.” Alexa Holm led Nova Scotia with 15. Sara Limper and Veronica Bailey each added 10.
In the final, Alberta dumped British Columbia 66-54. “Our kids were so focused, because our whole focus was to do this,” Alberta coach Rick Frey told the Lethbridge Herald, adding that his troops were determined to avenge a 63-56 loss a month earlier in the Western Canada Games final. “We didn’t like losing to them before. We played good, good defence, and we shut down the people we had to. And I really do think this is a great tournament. Once you got here, the atmosphere was unbelievable. The people who ran this tournament did a great job. You can’t find a single flaw in what they’ve done.” B.C. simply was overmatched by the Albertans. They couldn’t keep up with guard Jennifer Elford, who raced up and down the floor like she had rocket boosters on her high-tops. And they couldn’t hold off broad-shouldered post Katy Paterson. Alberta was up 17-3 before BC settled down. “The things we had problems with all summer were rebounding and guarding big players, simply because we aren’t that big a team,” said B.C. coach Jim Day. “I knew that if a bigger, stronger team was able to handle our pressure, we’d be in trouble.” Paterson finished with 19 points, while forward Christine Shewchuk added 12 and Beth Clawson 10. Campbell and backcourt mate Dani Langford led BC with 14 apiece. Cassi Born had 11 and Mandy Hutchins 10. BC rallied to within 37-30 at the half. Alberta started the second half on a 12-4 run to up the margin to 49-34, but B.C. responded with a 13-4 spurt of their own to get it to within two three-pointers, at 53-47. But Alberta turned up the tenacity on defence and hit their foul shots down the stretch to coast to victory.
