       The 2nd-seeded B.C. champ Douglas Royals, coached by Richard Norman, whipped the 7th-seeded Manitoba champ Red River CC, coached by Steve Maitland, 92-25. The Rebels were hampered when starting post Lynn Cowley was sidelined by an injured ankle, leaving them with only seven players, one of whom, Julia Procyshyn, was limited by shin splints. “We only play her when we absolutely have to. Now that Lynn’s out, we’ll have to play her if we get into foul trouble,” coach Steve Maitland told The Projector. “And with her shins like they are, she plays at less than 50%. … We definitely got kicked. The girls were flustered and tense, it being their first time at the nationals.”

Rebels coach Steve Maitland told The Projector that his troops were understaffed because of the ankle injury to post Lynn Cowley. “If we had Lynn in that game we would’ve won. I’m convinced we’re a better team than they are>
