In the league’s new playoff format, the top three teams in each of the league’s four divisions qualified. Seeds were determined by RPI in games between teams qualifying for the playoffs.
In the opening round, the 5th-seeded Lakehead Thunderwolves clocked the 12th-seeded Western Mustangs 71-54. The Thunderwolves led 19-16, 37-30 and 60-45 at the quarters as Jylisa Williams dominated the floor. They broke to a 15-4 lead before relinquishing an 8-0 run but then slowly pulled away as their defence kept yielding runout layups. Meanwhile, Essa Jacobsen came off the bench to dominate the paint in the second half and the Wolves closed it out with a 12-0 run down the stretch as they built their lead to as many as 20. “Western really battled with us tonight,” said Thunderwolves coach Jon Kreiner. “We struggled to contain them and coach (Brian) Cheng had a great game plan but we found our spots on offence and our ball movement improved as the game went on. Corina found Jylisa all night and Jylisa put on a great show in transition. Essa had a great second half on the boards for us.” Jylisa Williams paced the Thunderwolves with 42 on 19-28 from the floor, 4-6 from the line, 7 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals. Corina Bruni added 8 on 3-7 from the floor, 2-6 from the arc, 2 boards, 7 assists and 4 steals. Bridget O’Reilly added 6 on 3-9 from the floor, 0-5 from the arc, 3 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Our goal was to get them off the three point line. We made sure we ran at them and made them drive so they would have to pull up and shoot.” Wilson added that Liz Boag ran the floor with aplomb. “Liz is that player that when you need something, it’s Liz. She can relax everyone when she’s on the floor and everybody feels comfortable when Liz is running the show.” Voyageurs coach Jason Hurley said “we ran into a very well coached, hardworking and physical Queen’s team. Very proud of our group especially outgoing grads Devenae Bryce, Adrienne Moreau, Emily Case, Rebecca Goodier and Mary Scott. We achieved our goal of making the playoffs but fell short of making a Cinderella run. These 5 young women should be commended for buying in, working hard and most importantly representing Laurentian University in the most positive way possible.

Heading into the season, Sparks was thought to have a national title contender led by post Maddie Stephen, Canadian junior national team point guard Kellie Ring and forward Catherine Traer. But Stephen opted to focus on pre-med studies, Traer didn’t overcome a hip injury and it took a while for Ring to shake off two years of sideline rust. Then came an unbelievable string of injuries, with post Katherine Lemoine (shoulder) and guards Sarah Besselink (knee) and Danielle Marion (knee) lost for the season, while starters Stephanie MacDonald and Krista Van Slingerland missed several games with leg injuries. Only guards Julia Soriano and Jen Stoqua seemed immune to the jinx. Still, Sparks moulded the walking wounded and a raft of no-name rookies into a unit that played small-ball extraordinaire, often starting five guards and forcing the 5-9 Ring to defend the post. It proved enough to handle the Ravens. “We started off a bit sloppy, but in the second quarter we were more composed,” Ring, who delivered a dominant and sublime performance, told the Ottawa Citizen. “We’re very unselfish players and we found the open shooters.” Carleton built an early 14-8 lead by efficiently pounding the ball inside to bigs Heather Lindsay and Elizabeth Leblanc. The Ravens led 20-18 after one quarter. Then Ring took command, threading a series of passes to find MacDonald, Dion and Soriano on backdoor cuts and playing penetrate-and-pitch to find Stoqua, Soriano and Kellie Forand for treys, using a cutter for a screen to create an and-one and draining a trey as uOttawa stormed back to a 39-27 halftime lead. They stretched their lead to 17 as Stoqua and MacDonald hammered treys. But Stephanie Carr kept draining corner treys as Carleton rallied to within 57-50. MacDonald answered with another trey, Van Slingerland a baseline jumper and Ring six free throws, several defensive boards, a trey and a driving layup as uOttawa quelled Carleton’s last-gasp threat. “We had some defensive lapses which really can’t happen on Saturday against Ryerson so we’ll clean that up,” said Kellie Ring. “We talked about it at halftime and after the first quarter. They were beating us off the dribble and one-on-one. We definitely wanted to take pride in whomever we’re defending and keep them in front of us. I think we definitely did in the second quarter. That’s what helped us be successful in the second quarter.” Sparks said “everyone was really solid for us tonight. We had to just stay down defensively and be patient. There were a lot of times they were pulling back and we were biting on it. We were chasing shooters and jumping in the air. Typically if they’re going sideways, you don’t help. But we were over helping and I think that’s what caused some open shots for them. … They were a very good defensive team as they always are. But the offensive end wasn’t as big a key as the defensive end. We really locked down a bit after the first quarter. They’ve lost two very key players so they’re not the same team. So give them credit.” Kellie Ring paced the Gee-Gees with 20 on 6-13 from the floor, 3-4 from the arc, 5-5 from the line, 11 boards, 7 assists and 2 steals.

I’m so proud of our team today.” Ulakovic nailed a trio from beyond the arc in the first quarter as the Thunderwolves took command. She hit two more as the Thunderwolves opened the second quarter with a 15-2 run and then coasted to the easy win.

The 7th-seeded Queen’s Gaels stunned the 2nd-seeded host Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 85-78 in double overtime. “It was a bit of a game of runs for a stretch and then it just became a back-and-forth affair,” said Gaels coach Dave Wilson. “There were things that we were trying to do to keep them off-balance and changed things up and played four different defences at one point or another in the game. After that we had a lot of options offensively and it was just trying to find the right combination of offence to run to combat their defence.” Whitney Ellenor notched a trio of buckets early as both teams struggled to score but the Hawks built a 17-10 lead before Liz Boag and Gemma Bullard collected layups to trim the margin to 17-14 after one quarter. The Golden Hawks opened the second frame with an 8-2 run and soon extended their lead to 14. Boag answered with a trey as the Gaels began clawing back, drawing within 36-31 at the half on a late 9-0 run. Laurier opened the second half with a 7-0 run and soon rebuilt their lead to 14 but Bullard hit back-to-back treys to give the Gaels their first lead. Queen’s led 55-51 after three quarters and padded the lead to six on a Boag jumper. But the Golden Hawks clawed back to knot the score at 67 after regulation, missing a chance to win it as a Nicole Morrison trey bounced off the rim. “Our team loves overtime,” said Wilson. “Our kids have never lost in overtime, so they were very confident heading in and almost even more heading into the second overtime, it was a very calm feeling on our bench.” Jenny Wright notched a trey to open the first extra session but again the Golden Hawks clawed back, taking a 73-72 lead on a pair of free throws by Ellenor. Bullard answered with a jumper and the Golden Hawks were fouled with 8.2 seconds remaining on the clock but hit only one free throw, and then Kaitlyn Schenck missed a trey from the corner, forcing double overtime. Hazlett hit a pair of free throws and a layup to give the Gaels a four-point lead. Dixon pilfered the ball for a runout layup by Wright and Hazlett another driving layups as Queen’s built an 8-point lead and hung on for the win. “It was a crazy basketball game,” said Golden Hawks coach Paul Falco. “It was a game of runs in a lot of ways; we got up, we got down but we found a way to get back in it when we were in trouble in the fourth [quarter] and in overtime. We knew Queen’s was going to be a tough match. They’re experienced and they’re well balanced and they played a heck of a game. I was proud of the way our girls battled and we just didn’t get the breaks when we needed them.” Guard Lee Ann Osei added that “it was up-and-down game. It was something that we expected. We knew Queen’s wasn’t going to just walk in here and let us take the game. I think my team battled so hard, I’m so proud of the girls. From the beginning of the year, we talked about that being a key, everybody being a contributor. I feel like everybody played with so much heart today so I’m so proud of my team.” Jenny Wright paced the Gaels with 24 on 10-18 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 6 boards and 2 assists.

The 3rd-seeded Ryerson Rams clocked the 6th-seeded uOttawa Gee-Gees 73-47 after leading 15-13, 32-21 and 54-33 at the quarters. The Rams utilized a late 6-0 run to take a two-point lead after one quarter and then put the defensive clamps on the Gee-Gees as they built their lead to double-digits and coasted to the easy win. “In these games, especially when they can be season ending games, it’s so important to make sure that you focus on the process and don’t get consumed with the outcome and trying to win the game,” said Rams coach Carly Clarke. “Our plan was to keep the tempo up, which I think we did a great job of, and we wore them down over 40 minutes.” Keneca Pingue-Giles paced the Rams with 20 on 8-14 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 3-6 from the line, 14 boards, 4 assists and 3 steals.

In the Final Four semis, the top-seeded Windsor Lancers dusted the 5th-seeded Lakehead Timberwolves 57-31 after leading 15-8, 35-10 and 47-23 at the quarters. The tide turned in the second quarter, in which the Lancers outscored the Timberwolves 20-2 after OUA Player of the Year Jylisa Williams was forced to bench after colliding with Lancer post Emily Prevost on a blind screen at midcourt and suffering a concussion, complete with severe nausea. She never returned to the floor. Lancer guard Korissa Williams was chosen player of the game. “As far as our program is concerned, we are happy to have qualified for the CIS championship for the seventh straight season,” said Lancers coach Chantal Vallee. “It’s a testament to all the players who have been here before, the winning culture of our program, and where we are heading in the future.” Timberwolves coach Jon Kreiner said “it was a tough way to go out. We all hope that Jylisa is ok. She’s the heart and soul of our team and was so upset at herself and even apologized to her teammates at half time. We truly had an amazing season and we appreciate the support we received all season long.” Korissa Williams paced the Lancers with 21 on 9-15 from the floor, 3-3 from the line, 11 boards, 6 assists and 3 steals.

In the other semi, the 3rd-seeded Ryerson Rams dispatched the 7th-seeded Queen’s Gaels 69-60 after leading 14-11, 35-27 and 56-40 at the quarters. The Rams built an early 14-6 lead before the Gaels closed out the first quarter with a 5-0 run. The teams traded the lead until Ram guard Chloe Mago saved a ball from going out of bounds, which led to a Sophia Paska runout that gave Ryerson a 29-27 lead they would never relinquish. The Gaels rallied to within one in the third quarter after opening the frame with a 7-0 run but Ryerson got its run game on track and took command with a 21-5 run. Although the Gaels rallied within seven down the stretch, the outcome was never in doubt. Senior Annie Sokoloff was elated. “I’m pretty sure I said to (Keneca Pingue-Giles), ‘oh my god, we’re going to nationals, I’m going to cry’ (but) then it was ‘okay, we still have the OUA championship tomorrow’ so we’re focusing on that.” Rams coach Carly Clarke said “I don’t think it’s set in yet, to be honest. That was a tough battle. We’ve got nothing to lose (in the OUA final) so we’ve just got to come out and play and be ourselves. If we can stay in the moment and enjoy it then I think we can make a game of it.” Gaels coach Dave Wilson said “I thought they did a really good job they had some good runs in the game that we really had some difficulty stopping. There were critical opportunities where they made hoops and we had opportunities to bring it back but we missed some opportunities that I thought could have changed that tide. I give them all the credit in the world because I thought their composure was outstanding especially for a team that is as young as they are.” Sofia Paska paced the Rams with 18 on 7-12 from the floor, 4-4 from the line and 6 boards. Cara Tiemens added 12 on 4-8 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 5 boards and 2 steals.

In the final, the top-seeded Windsor Lancers bombed the 3rd-seeded Ryerson Rams 71-51 to capture their third consecutive OUA crown and 6th in seven campaigns. The Lancers led 23-16, 42-29 and 62-37 at the quarters. Korissa Williams dominated the floor from the opening tip. They ripped off a 10-2 run early in the second quarter to take a double digit lead, while their ball movement and defence gave the Rams fits. Player of the game Emily Prevost ran amok in the paint in the third quarter as the Lancers built their lead to 25. “I am so tremendously proud of this group of individuals who pushed through this championship weekend,” said Lancers coach Chantal Vallee. “It is a tremendous rehearsal for Quebec City and it’s only a part of the journey. We look forward to being there and to continue climbing our mountain.” Ryerson coach Carly Clarke said ““I think we had our moments and I said to the team that it’s cliché but having experience in these games…truly does make a difference. We’ll take this as a learning experience and this is the stage that we’re going to be playing on for three games (at the CIS Final 8). We still have to be incredibly proud of being second in the OUA. That’s a pretty great accomplishment for this season and something we hope to build on.” Korrisa Williams paced the Lancers with 18 on 8-15 from the floor, 2-2 from the line, 9 boards, 10 assists and 6 steals.

After the
season, Bill Pangos retired after 29 years at the helm of the York Lions. He
assumed the helm in 1986-87. Among the highlights of his career was winning the
CIAU silver medal in 1997, the program’s first ever national podium result, as
well as the OUA title in 2007 and back-to-back CIS championship appearances in
2006 and 2007. “We are losing a giant in CIS women’s basketball with Bill
retiring,” said York director of Sport & Recreation Jennifer Myers. “His
impact over the last 29 years will be felt for generations. His greatest legacy
can be seen in the hundreds of players he has touched. His commitment to the
development of the complete student-athlete was and still is a model for all
CIS programs. I will never be able to thank Bill enough for his passion and
commitment to our Lions family. On behalf of the entire Lions nation, I want to
wish him the very best on this next chapter in his journey.” Pangos began his
coaching career with the Humber Hawks men’s program in 1982 and led the team to
the OCAA final in 1984. He then decided to pursue his masters of coaching at
Western University and was an assistant with the Mustangs men’s team as well as
the head coach of the Western’s women’s team for one season in 1985 before
coming to York. “It has been a privilege and an honour to coach at York as long
as I have,” said Pangos. “I am indebted to the Sport & Recreation
department for providing me the job of a lifetime. I would also like to thank
my colleagues across the CIS for the many on-court battles, and I will cherish
the friendships I have developed in our league as well as in the basketball
community. And of course, I’d like to thank my wife, Patty, and my family for
all of their support over the years.” York subsequently appoints Erin McAleenan
as coach. McAleenan had been at the helm of the Lethbridge Pronghorns for the
previous three seasons. She was also an assistant coach with the Canadian
cadette women’s team, head coach of Alberta’s U17 Canada Summer Games team in
2013 and an assistant coach for Canada’s Pan Am Games team in 2011. “The hiring
of Erin marks a new era for our Lions women’s basketball program after 29
tremendous years under Bill Pangos,” said Myers. “She is a highly-motivated
coach with exceptional technical and tactical knowledge, and she has the skills
and determination to build a winning program here at York. I am excited to
welcome Erin to the Pride and consider her hiring another example of our
commitment to excellence and to building a championship culture at York.”
McAleenan played four years at Acadia. “It’s always been a dream of mine to come
back to Ontario after coaching and teaching here and I am thrilled to be the
new head coach at York,” said McAleenan. “I loved the feel of the campus on my
visit, and the overall feel of togetherness and family amongst the Lions. I
believe my previous experience as a head coach in the CIS will be a big asset
as I transition to the OUA and I am looking forward to meeting the team and
getting to work this fall.”
