In the opening round, held in Abbotsford: …………………………………………………… The 6th-seeded Alberta Pandas defeated the 11th-seeded Mount Royal Cougars 59-53. The Pandas broke to a 12-3 lead before late buckets by Tanis Metcalfe and a trey by Abbey Atkinson drew the Cougars within 23-19 after one quarter. The Pandas extended the margin to 35-27 at the half but the Cougars opened the third frame with an 11-2 run bookended by a Nora Luka trey and a Jenika Martens jumper. The Pandas countered with a 14-2 run and took a 43-40 lead after three quarters on a Rylee Semeniuk trey. Shae McCusker notched an and-one to make it 51-40 and the Pandas closed it out with a 13-8 run. Pandas coach Scott Edwards said “I’m proud of our team’s effort. You come into the playoffs and a unique tournament setting this year, and credit to both teams – they battled and played a great basketball game. … I’m excited we that we found a way to execute at the end and move on to another day.” Cougars coach Robyn Fleckenstein said “we knew that our bigs are our real scorers and we just said we were going to play our style and not let someone stop us from doing that. Alberta is a great team+, and well coached. They executed and made more shots, and we made less shots. That’s basketball. … We’re proud. It’s been a year of injuries and that’s okay. We didn’t let it be a reason why we didn’t battle.” Jenna Harpe paced the Pandas with 14 on 5-22 from the floor, 1-9 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 3 boards, 5 assists and 6 steals.

The Pronghorns led 10-4 early but the Vikes notched an 11-0 run on jumpers from Karis de Paiva and Makena Anderson, a pair of buckets from Abigail Becker and a Tegan MacKinnon trey to take a 15-12 lead after one quarter and a 26-22 lead at the half. Courtney McKee gave the Pronghorns an early lead in the second half but the Vikes stiffened their defence, holding Lethbridge scoreless for six-plus minutes bridging the third and fourth quarters. The Vikes led 43-35 after three quarters and expanded their lead to 15 before staving off a late Pronghorns push. Vikes guard Tana Pankratz said “our shots weren’t falling today — it was pretty ugly on the offensive side. So we knew we had to buckle down. We’ve been playing good D for, I want to say, six games in a row now in league play, so we’re just trying to bring that every game — bringing energy, bringing lots of talk. We have so much length on our team, so we’re just focusing on that, and staying competitive.” Pronghorns coach Dave Waknuk said “size and length affects you, right? You know there’s size coming for you, so you’re going to speed it up, shoot it a little quicker. Some of our turnovers were passes where we were already thinking about what’s coming for us before we were actually catching the ball, and it was coming off our hands. It’s playoff basketball — scores are going to go down, defence is going to be the key. It kind of turns into a bit of a rock fight at times, and you’re just hoping to get some breaks, which didn’t go our way. I liked our shots — we just didn’t always get the ball to go in the rim.” Abigail Becker paced the Vikes with 13 on 5-6 from the floor, 3-6 from the line, 8 boards and 2 blocks. Makena Anderson added 11 on 4-14 from the floor, 1-7 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 9 boards and 2 assists. Mimi Sigue notched 9 on 4-10 from the floor, 1-2 from the line, 6 boards and 2 assists.

The Bisons had notched a 6-0 run to knot the score at 9 when Cougars coach Dave Taylor called a timeout and asked his troops: “are you okay with this?” They responded with a 10-0 to take a 19-9 lead after one quarter. They were never again threatened. The Cougars led 38-21 at the half and 57-38 after three quarters, despite a 10-0 Bisons run. Taylor said “I kind of put it on them — ‘You guys are talented, but you’ve got to earn it’. … The big thing we talk about all the time is, we have to have some accountability on ourselves, and each other too. As we’ve proven with some of our wins this year, we’re very good. But we also have team lapses sometimes. My point to them was, in the playoffs, to get through Canada West this year, you’ve got to be on top of your game and you can’t make effort mistakes. If you miss shots? Don’t care. But if you miss boxouts? … That won’t get it done. That’ll send you home. That was my point — not just our team, but all of us (in the CW playoffs). It’s not going to be who makes shots. It’s going to be the team that doesn’t beat themselves. And I thought after that, we responded really well for the majority of the game and did a much better job.” Bisons coach Michele Sung said “I thought we kind of lost focus in the second quarter of our game plan and trying to execute that. If you don’t lock in on the best player in our conference, she’s going to hurt us, right? I also thought we didn’t do a great job of finishing at the rim. We created chances, we just didn’t do a great job of finishing.” Jade Belmore paced the Cougars with 22 on 9-14 from the floor, 2-3 from the arc, 2-3 from the line, 4 boards and 2 assists. Dayna Pearce added 11 on 3-10 from the floor, 3-9 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 6 boards and 3 assists.

They extended the lead to 46-35 after three quarters as Sofia Aubsa Lluch repeatedly broke down the Spartans on the pick-and-roll, finding Kelsey Falk and Jaeli Ibbetson for easy buckets in the paint. They extended the margin to 15 before Jayden Gill notched a pair of treys to draw the Spartans within seven. Ibbetson countered with a trey. The Spartans drew within five down the stretch and the Heat were hit a clear path foul, with Jayden Gill hitting a pair from the line with 29.5 seconds to play. The Spartans retained possession but a Sydney Bradshaw open look from the perimeter clanged off the iron and the Heat iced the win at the line. Heat coach Bobby Mitchell said “it’s great. This group has been here (in the playoffs) a couple times, and hasn’t been able to get it done. I’m just so happy for the players. Players win games, and they got it done today. We talked about a month ago, about getting to this point playing our best basketball. We really felt like the last three weeks, we’ve been doing that. We just wanted to stay true to how we want to play and not get out of our systems.” Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul said “”I thought they fought really hard today. I think we didn’t handle one or two key things well today, but again we’ve been holding teams to this score consistently, 63 points for a team that’s averaging quite a bit more is a solid defensive effort. It’s just trying to manufacture offence when we needed it and it’s hard to finish the season not being able to score to win a game. But at the end of the day, I thought we defended well enough in certain moments and those are just some things that we need to grow from. We just ran out of time and ran out of space.” Jaeli Ibbetson paced the Heat with 21 on 5-13 from the floor, 2-4 from the arc, 9-10 from the line, 16 boards, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Amelie Collin nailed a trey to draw Calgary within 7 with 1:30 to play but another Signatovich block sealed the win. Pandas coach Scott Edwards said “I thought that Claire had a wonderful game defensively, and she definitely showed she was worthy of that defensive player of the year. I’m just glad we get a day off now to be honest. We have a lot of tired kids after two tough games.” Dinos coach Damian Jennings said “I think we just misfired on a lot of shots. The rebound for them off our miss created some easier ones, and it just got a bit away from us.” Jenna Harpe paced the Pandas with 13 on 5-18 from the floor, 2-8 from the arc, 1-3 from the line, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

The 4th-seeded host Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the 5th-seeded Regina Cougars 62-53. Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer said “it was exciting to play in that (atmosphere), and have the community behind us. Lots of high school and middle school kids out, and lots of coaches. It was fun. Hopefully we caught their imaginations a little bit. The girls, I thought, responded. They liked playing in front of that – it was pretty cool. I think you saw the things (tonight) that we’ve been talking about all year – playing together, playing for each other, and playing hard. Throughout the year, whenever there was a little crack (in that mentality), we fixed that crack, and tonight I thought it really paid off. Any time they made a little bit of a run, we were right there.” The Cascades took a 14-9 lead after one quarter as Maddy Gobeil notched 9 on several driving layups. The Cougars rallied to knot the score at 23 but the Cascades ripped off a 9-0 run with Gobeil notching a pair of runouts. Cougar drained a corner trey to draw Regina within 34-26 at the half. The Cascades notched an 8-0 run to start the second half as they extended their lead to 16. They led 47-36 after three quarters and were never seriously threatened. Cougars coach Dave Taylor said “we play different styles, and they imposed their style on us. They limited our transition, we didn’t get three-point looks, and they beat us up inside. And in the first half especially, Maddy Gobeil was the best player on the floor. Going in, that’s exactly the type of game we didn’t want, because we’re going to lose that type of game. The problem was, every time we figured it out defensively, we couldn’t score offensively. And every time we figured it out offensively, we couldn’t get a stop. We could never put the two things together.” Taylor added that the Cascades’ combination of face-guarding aggression and switchable pieces on the perimeter made them a particularly tough match-up. They’re unique, because a lot of teams have tried to face-guard her (Jade Belmore) and take her out. But they can also switch, and they’ve got size at the rim, too. When we were successful, we got her out in transition.” Maddy Gobeil paced the Cascades with 22 on 9-18 from the floor, 2-7 from the arc, 2-7 from the line, 10 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals. Deanna Tuchscherer added 13 on 5-15 from the floor, 0-2 from the arc, 3-6 from the line, 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.

In the last quarterfinal, the top-seeded Saskatchewan Huskies clipped the 9th-seeded U.B.C.-Okanagan Heat 74-60. The Huskies led 27-17 after one quarter and took command with a 10-0 run to close out the first half with a 39-25 lead heading into the lockers. The Huskies led 58-42 after three quarters and were never threatened. Huskie forward Tea DeMong said “we knew it was going to be a pretty aggressive game with UBCO, and I think we came out pretty aggressive tonight. We were a bit sloppy at times, but we’re going to pick it up for our next game. … We’ve got quite a few players like Gage (Grassick) and Andy (Dodig) who are just great on the ball (defensively). When the ball handler has a lot of pressure on them, it makes it hard for anyone else to get a good shot.” Heat coach Bobby Mitchell said “they don’t give you whole lot of room, and they contest every defensive possession. They did a good job disrupting what we like to do, and some of our actions. I thought they sped us up and got us out of rhythm early, but I liked our compete. We stayed with it. But the 10-0 run in the first half, that was the big difference. It was a four-point game, and then you’re down 14.” Tea DeMong paced the Huskies with 19 on 7-16 from the floor, 0-2 from the arc, 5-5 from the line, 10 boards, 3 assists and 5 steals.

In the semis, the top-seeded Saskatchewan Huskies dusted the 4th-seeded Fraser Valley Cascades 84-50 after leading 31-12, 52-25 and 63-42 at the quarters. The Huskies drained seven treys in the first six minutes of play, including 5 by Carly Ahlstrom, as they obliterated the Cascades. Huskies coach Lisa Thomaidis said “we have not shot the three very well for a long time, so we just keep waiting every game – maybe today is going to be the day. And today was the day. Carly was unbelievable – that’s what she can do. She’s a special player, and I was happy that she was able to bring it on a night like tonight. UFV, we have a lot of respect for. We were worried about their size and how they were going to pound it inside against us. They’re a very good team, so we’re very fortunate we shot the ball like we did.” Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer said “every single defensive miscue we had seemed to be a three. Then we started playing defence a little bit panicky, trying to do too much. Now you’re over-helping and over-rotating, giving them naked looks on the perimeter, and they’re knocking them down one after the other. Obviously they’re a first-class operation over there, and they’ve been playing in these games for many years. This is old hat to them, and the stage was a little bit too big for our squad today. We weren’t ready to compete right out of the gate, and it took us a half to realize what was happening. … It’s tough to learn those lessons.” Carly Ahlstrom paced the Huskies with 27 on 9-12 from the floor, 7-10 from the arc, 2-4 from the line, 2 boards and 3 assists. Tea DeMong added 18 on 7-9 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc, 1-2 from the line, 5 boards and 5 assists. Logan Reider notched 1 1on 4-6 from the floor and 3-5 from the arc.

In the other semi, the 6th-seeded Alberta Pandas clubbed the 10th-seeded Victoria Vikes 68-49. Panda forward Claire Signatovich said “that was one of our goals at the beginning of the season – we wanted to qualify for nationals and not have to use that host spot. That was really, really important to us. Defensively is how we want to get our energy. Get a stop and run, is how we were trying to play. That’s how we’ve been playing all year, and we did that again today. Team defence is really important to us.” The Vikes broke to a 12-4 lead on the marksmanship of Tana Pankratz but Panda forward Reece Hall nailed a trey to draw Alberta within 15-14 after one quarter. The Pandas forced a raft of turnovers for runouts as they dominated the second quarter to take a 33-19 lead into the lockers. They opened the second half with a 7-1 run, stretched the lead to 20, led 51-32 after three quarters and romped to the easy win, leading by as many as 26. Vikes coach Carrie Watts said “it was a rough go for us today. In the first half, when you’re turning the ball over that much, you’re going to miss opportunities and not maximize the options you have offensively. We never got settled offensively, and of course that impacts your ability defensively. When you’re recovering off of turnovers and scramble situations. Signatovich came to play, as we knew she would. She hit some tough shots, and they hit some big threes that were momentum-changers.” Claire Signatovich paced the Pandas with 22 on 11-16 from the floor, 13 boards, 4 blocks and 3 steals. Reece Hall added 12 on 4-6 from the floor, 2-3 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 4 boards and 3 steals. Jayden Tanner notched 9 on 4-10 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc and 0-2 from the line.

By virtue of Alberta hosting the uSports championships, the bronze medal match was a battle for the conference second berth in the nationals.
In the bronze medal match, the 4th-seeded Fraser Valley Cascades clocked the 10th-seeded Victoria Vikes 62-41. The Cascades relinquished the first bucket of the game after 2:19 minutes of play to Vikes guard Tana Pankratz but then held Victoria without a field goal for the next 18 minutes and 22 seconds. The Cascades led 18-4, 39-13 and 51-26 at the quarters. The Vikes hit their second field goal of the game at the 4:41 mark of the third quarter. Cascade guard Maddy Gobeil said “I think the bronze medal game is just about competing and who wants it more. It was about coming out and giving everything that you have left in the tank, and I think our team really locked into that mindset today.” Pankratz said “I feel like we weren’t playing like ourselves in the first half. We weren’t pushing the ball, we were hesitant on a lot of shots because we knew they weren’t falling. We didn’t shoot well in the first half – but we turned it around and I felt like defensively we brought a lot of intensity.” Maddy Gobeil paced the Cascades with 26 on 11-19 from the floor, 1-5 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 5 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals. Fania Taylor added 9 on 3-7 from the floor, 2-5 from the arc, 1-1 from the line and 3 boards. Google Sidhu notched 7 on 3-9 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 3 boards and 2 steals.

In the final, the top-seeded Saskatchewan Huskies mauled the 6th-seeded Alberta Pandas 73-42. Gage Grassick nailed a trey to close out the first quarter as the Huskies took an 18-15 lead. The trey ignited a 15-4 run as the Huskies took command. They led 41-26 at the half and 60-37 after three quarters. Saskatchewan coach Lisa Thomaidis said “I’m so impressed with our team. They play with so much grit and heart. I thought the defensive presence and tenacity was the difference-maker. Our offence at times looked great yesterday but other times grinds to a halt a bit, but it is our defence that is our foundation and we build everything off that. Tea [DeMong] was outstanding, they all were. I’m just so happy for our players, they are so deserving of this.” Pandas coach Scott Edwards said “you saw the No. 1 team in the country act like the No. 1 team in the country so credit to Saskatchewan, their coaching staff and athletes. I thought they had phenomenal week here in Abbotsford. They were clearly the best team in the tournament. I was proud of our athletes, with four games in five days, to come out and compete the way they did for as long as we could, but I think we saw a little fatigue set in there and the Huskies took advantage of that so good on them.” Gage Grassick paced the Huskies with 28 on 10-17 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc, 5-6 from the ine, 5 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.
