In the West quarterfinals, Western stomped Windsor 71-31. The Lancers (coached by Georgia Risnita) included Nicole Green, Stacy Newbigging, Samantha Leclair, Trisha Remark, Ella Kinloch, Caroline Draudt, Erin Ross, Karie Jackson, Lisa Henry, Tatiana Danelon, Amy McGuire, Cheri Mulcaster and Celina Boswell.

In the other West quarterfinal, Brock dumped Waterloo 72-58 as Stacey Farr scored 13, Jodie Ebeling 13 and Cassie Tatham 12, including four treys in the first half. Brock led 49-31 at the half. Tatham told the St. Catharines Standard that coach “Chris said be ready, spot it up and if you’re open, crank it. I’m an outside shooter and when I’m open, I like to take it. We wanted to set the tempo from the beginning of the game, bury them in the first few minutes and then don’t look back.” Farr added that “we knew what they were going to do and what we were going to do to stop them.” Badgers coach Chris Critelli said “I think they got fired up for this game and it showed. That’s the way this team is capable of playing; they can play at both ends of the floor, score 40 points and hold a team.” Warriors coach Tom O’Brien told the Imprint that “you have to give Brock Credit. They had control right from the start.” The Badgers led by 18 at the half. “We didn’t quit,” said O’Brien. “It would have been easy to fold up the tent after the first half, but we didn’t.” O’Brien was tossed from the game after collecting two technicals. “I feel like I’m going to be sick to my stomach. It makes me look bad, and I’m not a bad guy,” he said. Casie Kergan and Katie Tucker nailed treys as Waterloo rallied within two but the Badgers iced the win at the line. O’Brien said “we didn’t come ready to play. We never got to the point where we could get ahead.” Julie Devenny led the Warriors with 16, along with 6 boards. Casie Kergan added 10, along with 5 boards and 4 steals. Waterloo outrebounded Brock 37-33. The Warriors (coached by Tom O’Brien, assisted by Craig Nickel and Andrea Thomson, strength & conditioning Lori Kraemer, manager Sharon Rich, manager Heather Ball, therapists Erika Hasler and Riley Stewart) also included Laura Strauss, Amanda Kieswetter, Crystal Richardson, Kara Menzies, Nicky Brockman, Kristy Commerford, Kate McCure, Katie Tucker, Katie Hillis, Leslie Fuller, Nicole Consitt, Carrie Brown, Kate MaCrae and Caroline Beairsto.

In the West semis, host McMaster thrashed Brock 79-58 at Burridge Gym. Heather Gowan opened the scoring for Mac a few seconds into the game. Stacey Farr replied for Brock but the Marauders soon went on a 10-point run to open an early lead. Mac extended the lead and with 8:36 remaining, led 31-13. For the remainder of the half, the Badgers had the better of the scoring and with 1:01 remaining Brock had closed the score to 40-39 for Mac. McMaster went in at the turn leading 42-39. McMaster opened the scoring in the second half with a 3-point shot from Christin Dickenson but Brock stayed close. With 14:54 remaining, Mac led 48-44. Over the next few minutes, the Marauders would extend the lead to about 10 points. At 5:36 remaining, the Marauders had an 8-point run, so that with 3:35 remaining, they led by 17. The Badgers then tried to get back into the game, hit a couple of big treys and a 2, so that with 1:59 remaining, the Marauder lead had been reduced to 11. At that stage, Brock began to foul to stop the clock. Mac did not make all of the shots from the line, but Brock had lost the shooting touch. Marauders coach Theresa Burns told the Hamilton Spectator that Christin Dickenson “does so many things and so many other things that don’t show up in the stats. She’s always helping out on defence and keeps the team pumped up.” Sarah Sterling paced McMaster with 20. Alana Shaw added 12, Katie Coulson 13, Heather Gowan 12, Christin Dickenson 12, Fiona Cheng 7 and Shannon Cope 2. The Marauders shot 26-44 from the floor, 8-13 from the arc, 19-30 from the line and garnered 32 boards, 18 fouls, 20 assists, 22 turnovers, 1 block and seven steals. Erin Gauthier led Brock with 15 points. Jodie Ebeling added 10, Stacey Farr 10, Genille Clifford 6, Amie Laasen 6, Larkin Lamarche 5, Cassie Tatham 4 and Tara Poulin 2. Badgers coach Chris Critelli told the St. Catharines Standrd that “I felt we could get back to nationals with the talent we had. But looking at how erratic our game was, I felt we could come up with a great game, or come up with a poor game.” The Badgers (coached by Chris Critelli, assisted by Karen Reinhardt, Glenn Alphonse, Carolyn Johnson and Jackie White, manager Shauna Bookal, trainer Karen Millar, assistant trainers Marianna Joanovic and Laura Garrow) also included Denise Navarro, Erin Allen, Mandy Bateman, Fiona Tozer, Krysten Adams, Christina Christian, Danielle McGhee and Stacey Fisher. The Badgers shot 20-52 from the floor, 4-12 from the arc, 14-22 from the line and garnered 35 boards, 23 fouls, 16 assists, 19 turnovers, 2 blocks and 12 steals.
In the other West semi, Laurier clocked Western 84-59 as Meaghan McGrath scored 23, Kerri Jilesen 16 and Dee Channer 10. The Mustangs (coached by Bob Delaney, assisted by Don Coleman and Lori McKay) included Karenina Aguilar, Cheryl Atkinson, Joanne Chehade, Michelle Crowley, Chelsea Elwood, Katherine Gonzalez, Jennifer Grebeldinger, Rebecca Heeney, Alana Juzenas, Lindsay Kennedy, Julie Lamparski, Sarah Lercara, Rebecca McColl and Charlene Tortosa.

In the West final, McMaster dumped Laurier 85-74. Although Laurier opened the scoring with a three-pointer and took a slim early lead, McMaster ripped off a 11-0 run five minutes into the affair and never trailed. The host Marauders succumbed to a few traps late in the half as Laurier rallied back to within 46-42 at the break. The Hawks took a one-point lead early in the second half but McMaster slowly pulled away, building its margin to nine with 6:21 to play on an Alana Shaw three pointer. The Hawks rallied back to within five with a minute to play but were forced to foul, allowing the Marauders to ice the win at the charity stripe. Maurader Heather Gowan told the Hamilton Spectator that “everybody knows what I’m going to do when I get the ball (i.e., shoot). Playing more makes a world of difference. If you get the rhythm, feeling it, then it’s so much easier.” Marauders coach Theresa Burns said “our team gave absolutely everything until the bitter end.” Sarah Sterling led McMaster with 24. Alana Shaw added 19, Heather Gowan 17 and Christin Dickenson 16, along with 10 boards. Fiona Cheng scored 5 and Katie Coulson 4. The Marauders shot 26-57 from the floor, 7-16 from the arc and 26-37 from the line, while garnering 53 boards, 17 fouls, 21 assists, 12 turnovers, 1 block and 1 steal. Marie Guinney paced Laurier with 18 points. Meaghan McGrath added 18 off the bench. Dee Channer scored 13, Rebecca Williams 8, Sarah Zagorski 3, Kerri Jilesen 2. Robin Roszell, Sarah Barnes and Heather Sutherland each added four points off the bench. Golden Hawks coach Stu Julius said “tonight, Mac did the little things and we didn’t. Plus, they had 37 foul shots.” The Golden Hawks (coached by Stu Julius, assisted by Ann Weber and Kevin Duffy, manager Cailin Miziolek, student therapist Jasmine MacDonnell) also included Julie Roantree and Alex Dzigda. The Hawks shot 27-78 from the floor, 5-25 from the arc and 15-18 from the line, while garnering 43 boards, 25 fouls, 17 assists, 11 turnovers, 3 blocks and 7 steals.

In the East semis, Queen’s nipped York 61-58 as Amy Goodday and Erin McDiarmid dominated the low post, scoring a combined 33 points. The Gaels started slowly and trailed at the half by 33-31 but opened up a seven point lead in the second half when Goodday went to work in the paint. The Gaels feel behind by seven in the second half but kept pounding the ball to Goodday and McDiarmid in the blocks, often pitching it inside two or three times on a single possession until a good layup opportunity was available. York countered with timely perimeter shooting by Jovana Topisirovic and Shawna Labonte but missed two opportunities to force overtime in the final seconds when three-point bombs bounced off the rim. “It was a tough game but we all stepped up,” said Goodday, who scored 23. “We needed to get the inside game going and we got a lot of second opportunities on the second pass back into the paint,” added coach Dave Wilson. Goodday scored 23 and grabbed 10 boards for the Gaels. McDiarmid scored 10, Kyla Burwash 7, Andrea Hanson 7, Nathalie MacNeil 5, Claire Meadows 5 and Lindsay Robb 4. The Golden Gaels shot 25-52 (.481) from the floor, 2-8 (.250) from the arc and 9-15 (.600) from the line while collecting 35 boards, 10 fouls, 3 assists, 17 turnovers, 5 blocks and 8 steals. Jovana Topisirovic paced York with 18. Nastassia Subban added 11, Kelly Vernelli 10, Shawna Labonte 10, Carlene Siopsis 5 and Shannon Patterson 4, while Chantal Gray, Jennifer Sinopoli, Jodi Gram, Marla Gladstone, Jillian Shelley, Sarah Brodie and Meghan Jarvis were scoreless. The Yeowomen (coached by Bill Pangos) hit 24-60 (.400) from the floor, 4-16 (.250) from the arc and 6-10 (.660) from the line, while garnering 25 boards, 16 fouls, 4 assists, 9 turnovers, 2 blocks and 13 steals.

In the other East semi, a whole constellation of stars had to align right for the University of Ottawa women’s Gee-Gees to upset the Laurentian Voyageurs. They nearly did. But the Gee-Gees had to be content with having made the playoffs after two years in the OUA cellar as they fell just short of a monumental upset, losing 68-62 when all-star Laurentian guard Claire Beatty broke open a tight affair in the last six minutes with a pair of critical three-pointers and an offensive tip-in. The upstart Gee-Gees had the Voyageurs on their heels for 34 minutes, leading by as many as 10, while dominating the boards and playing stellar defence but they panicked down the stretch as Laurentian battled back and took a five-point lead with three minutes to play. “We let them back in it,” disappointed Gee-Gees guard Moriah Trowell said. “We had it in our grasp and then they took the wind out of sails. It was a good season for us. But it’s tough to be satisfied after losing like that.” The Gee-Gees had clawed to a 31-26 lead at the half by capitalizing on a crafty game plan that left Laurentian point guard Caitlin Blackadder undefended on the perimeter, assuming the playmaker would prefer to pass than shoot the ball. The stratagem worked to perfection, allowing U of O guard Moriah Trowell to collapse her to collapse her defence in the paint to shut down the penetration dribble and help with the defensive boards. Laurentian coach Mike Clarke inserted Brianne Henry into the line-up in place of Blackadder in the second half and the third-year guard responded with 13 points as the Voyageurs rallied back to 53-49 lead. Although the Gee-Gees ripped-off unanswered points on buckets by Miranda Killam, Trowell and Kristen Moyle to restore a 56-53 lead, Beatty took command down the stretch to pull out the Voyageurs win. “We knew our offence would eventually come together if we just focused on our defence,” Beatty said. Clarke said the Voyageurs looked “nervous in the first half and didn’t execute very well. But defensively, the kids played well.” Beatty finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and one block. Tierney Hoo added 19, Brianne Henry 16, Carolyn Plummer 10, Christal Blanchard 3, Caitlin Blackadder 1 and Cara Dodsley 2. The Voyageurs shot 25-70 (.357) from the floor, 5-12 (.417) from the arc and 13-18 (.722) from the line, while collecting 33 boards, 14 fouls, 1 assists, 8 turnovers, 1 block and 8 steals. Moriah Trowell led Ottawa with 20 points and 15 rebounds. Kristen Moyle and Nancy Pellerin each added 11, Miranda Killam 6, Natalie Johnston 5, Nadia Brenko 4, Hilary Foster 3 and Cara Weiss 2, while Jodi Whyte, Moronike Laleye, Kristen Cavanagh-Ray, Anne Vant Erve, Leah Hubbard, Danica Topolinsky and Amelie Hudon, were scoreless. The Gee-Gees (coached by Angie McLeod, assisted by Murray Shoup) garnered 36 boards, 16 fouls, 2 assists, 17 turnovers, 2 blocks and 3 steals.

In the East final, Queen’s stunned previously undefeated Laurentian 72-58 to sink the Voyageurs even further into the bizarre psychological complex that had plagued them over the past three OUA East finals. “I don’t think in my wildest dreams I could have predicted this big a win,” said Golden Gaels leading scorer Erin McDiarmid, who notched 18 and grabbed 11 boards. “We came in here just hoping for a win. But we’ve all been so pumped and so excited about this for the last two weeks and it showed tonight.” Point guard Kyla Burwash added that “it’s so sweet, so sweet. …We wanted it so bad.” The teams emerged from the highly-entertaining first half knotted at 33-33 as both played to their strengths and did an excellent job of exploiting each other’s weaknesses. The Voyageurs forced the tempo, pushing the ball in transition at every opportunity and using defensive pressure to rush the Golden Gaels into quick shots. But Queen’s effectively pounded the ball to Amy Goodday and McDiarmid in the paint to take advantage of Laurentian’s difficulties in defending big post players. Ashbury product Jen Bittner and Burwash drove for layups and McDiarmid tipped-in an offensive rebound as the Golden Gaels set the Voyageurs on their heels early in the second half by taking a seven-point lead. Although OUA East division player of the year Claire Beatty briefly steadied the troops to rally Laurentian back to within two, it was the Golden Gaels who, down the stretch, looked like the disciplined, veteran unit that had steamrolled to a 20-0 record during the regular season. Burwash kept patiently dishing the ball to McDiarmid and Goodday for low-post buckets as Queen’s extended its lead to 12 and pulled away down the stretch. “We had a big size advantage on them and we used it well,” said McDiarmid. “The guards fed us some great passes. Having both Amy and I down there puts a lot of pressure on teams and we did a good job of doing that.” McDiarmid led Queen’s with 18 points and 11 boards. Burwash and Bittner each scored 14 for Queen’s. Goodday added 9, while collecting 15 rebounds. Natalie MacNeil scored 9, Andrea Hanson 6 and Lindsay Robb 2. The Gaels shot 26-57 (.456) from the floor, 3-8 (.375) from the arc and 17-18 (.944) from the line, while garnering 38 boards, 16 fouls, 4 assists, 9 turnovers and 5 steals. Carolyn Plummer paced Laurentian with 14. Tierney Hoo added 12, Clare Beatty 10, Cara Dodsley 6, Erica Johnson 6, Caitlin Blackadder 4, Kate Walker 2, Symone Wilson 1 and Lindsay Mallott 2, while Christal Blanchard, Alison Remy, Brianne Henry, Caitlin Foran and Danielle D’Ettore were scoreless. The Voyageurs (coached by Mike Clarke) hit 23-60 (.383) from the floor, 3-12 (.250) from the arc and 9-13 (.692) from the line, while collecting 23 boards, 20 fouls, 3 assists, 10 turnovers, 1 block and 5 steals.

In the OUA bronze medal match, Wilfrid Laurier dumped Laurentian 78-75 to earn a berth in the nationals. Baskets were scarce in the first few minutes as the teams tested each other’s defences. By 14:57 the Golden Hawks led 9-8 as the lead traded hands several times. This would set the pattern for the rest of the half. At 9:37 Laurier was up 20-17 and by 7:13 up 25-22. By 5:58 the Hawks lead was down to 1 (27-26) and by 3:25 the Voyageurs had taken the lead 32-28. The Voyageurs kept the lead until the buzzer and closed the half ahead 39-35. The early minutes of the second half saw the Golden Hawks narrowing the Voyageurs’ lead to 1 (41-40) with 18:48 left. Over the next couple of minutes the lead changed hands several times with neither team having much advantage. By 13:52 Laurentian was ahead 50-48 and by 11:16 had their largest lead of game 59-54. However, Laurier came back to tie the game at 61 all with 10:07 left. The next 2 minutes saw the lead change hands several more times but by 8:22 the Golden Hawks were ahead 67-65 and would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the half. By 1:30 the Hawks had an 8 point lead, 78-70, but some quick Voyageurs’ baskets brought the score to 78-75 with 44 seconds remaining. Laurier managed to prevent Laurentian scoring in the remaining time to win 78-75. Dee Channer led Laurier with 31 points on 8-13 from the floor, 15-15 from the line and 10 boards. Kerri Jilesen added 11 points, Sarah Zagorski 10, Sarah Barnes 8, Meaghan McGrath 7, Maire Guinney 7, Robin Russell 2 and Heather Sutherland 2. The Hawks also included Julie Roantree, Robin Roszell and Rebecca Williams. The Golden Hawks shot 27-65 (.415) from the floor, 2-14 (.143) from the arc and 22-26 (.846) from the line, while garnering 29 boards, 15 fouls, 20 assists, 20 turnovers, 3 blocks and 10 steals. Tierney Hoo led Laurentian with 21 points on 7-15 from the floor and 6-9 from the line. Carolyn Plummer added 19 points on 8-15 from the floor and 12 boards. Clare Beatty scored 18, Cara Dodsley 8, Brianne Henry 6, Kate Walker 2 and Lindsay Malott 2. The Voyageurs also included Caitlin Blackadder, Christal Blanchard, Erica Johnson, Alison Remy, Symone Wilson and Danielle D’Ettorre. The Voyageurs shot 27-65 (.415) from the floor, 4-10 (.400) from the arc and 17-23 (.739) from the line, while garnering 39 boards, 23 assists, 25 turnovers, 1 block and 13 steals

In the Wilson Cup final, McMaster nipped Queen’s 46-45 in a close-fought affair in which neither team shot the ball well. Amy Goodday opened the scoring for Queen’s and the Golden Gaels led for the first 7 minutes. With 12:58 remaining, Heather Gowan hit her second 3-point shot to give the Marauders a lead that they would essentially maintain to the end of the game. In the first half, the lead typically varied between 1 and 5. An Alana Shaw 3 with 3 seconds remaining in the half, gave the Marauders a 6-point lead, 30-24 at the turn. Christin Dickenson opened the scoring in the second half to extend the Marauder lead to 8, but Queen’s made the better of the play for the next few minutes and with 12:52 remaining, the scores were tied at 35. McMaster again re-opened a small lead but with 8:53 remaining, the score was only 41-39 for the Marauders. The Marauders then had a 5-point run so that with 3:36 remaining, Mac was leading 46-39. The Golden Gaels then had a 6-point run of their own, so that with 0:49 seconds remaining, the McMaster lead was cut to 46-45. Mac used up much of the clock before shooting, missed the shot but regained possession to run the clock off. Marauders coach Theresa Burns told the Hamilton Spectator that “the seniors really wanted it. The experience level, the commitment, showed at the end.” Christin Dickenson paced the Marauders 13 points and 12 rebounds on 5-23 from the floor. Katie Coulson had 9 rebounds, 2 points, 9 assists and 5 steals but was 0-7 from the floor. Sarah Sterling scored 12 on 6-8 from the floor. Alana Shaw notched 9, Heather Gowan 6 and Shannon Cope 4. McMaster shot 18-58 (.310) from the floor, 4-19 (.211) from the arc and 6-11 (.545) from the line, while garnering 30 boards, 8 fouls, 16 assists, 11 turnovers, 6 blocks and 9 steals. Amy Goodday led Queen’s with 22 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. Erin McDiarmid scored 10, grabbed 10 boards and had 2 steals. Kyla Burwash scored 4, Nathalie MacNeil 4, Jen Bittner 3, Claire Meadows 4 and Andrea Hanson 2. The Gaels shot 19-55 (.345) from the floor, 2-9 (.222) from the arc and 5-6 (.833) from the line, while collecting 40 boards, 10 fouls, 13 assists, 14 turnovers, 2 blocks and 5 steals.

Following the season, Carleton announced that it was appointing a full-time coach and ‘invited’ coach Alex Overwijk to apply. The Ravens then selected coaching neophyte Christy Lauzon to head the program. The 26-year-old London-native was U of Vermont assistant coach for one year before accepting the Carleton post. She led London Oakridge to a provincial high school title in 1993 and was a member of a Catamounts unit which captured the America East conference postseason tournament in 2000 before being bounced from the NCAA tournament by Tulane. Although selected over candidates with far more coaching experience, Lauzon doesn’t see her relative inexperience as a liability. After graduating from Vermont with a physical education degree in 2000, Lauzon served as the Catamounts assistant coach for two years before becoming co-coach of Colchester High School last season while pursuing her master’s in education. The Burlington school team finished a 4-17 record. “I wasn’t technically the head coach. We were co-coaches. So technically, as head coach, I have no record,” she said. Lauzon hopes to “fill the gaps” in her resume, and in her awareness of the local high school scene, by convincing highly-respected Ashbury mentor Andy Sparks to become her assistant. Sparks later accepted the position.

Western released Bob Delaney, with the London Free Press speculating that the results of a coaches evaluation by the players played a major role in the decision to release the legend. He was replaced by

Jon Kreiner is appointed head coach of Lakehead. Kreiner coached the New Brunswick midget team to a silver medal at the nationals in 2002. Kreiner appoints Lou Pero recently retired men’s coach, as assistant coach. He also led the St. Thomas Tommies to two consecutive Atlantic Collegiate titles in four years at the helm.
