Tournament MVP Laura Foster paced the Condorettes with 25. Morgan Stoner added 14, while Sammi Fuller was chosen defensive player of the tournament. Condorettes coach Al Erricson told the Prince George Citizen that “the seniors were incredible. All the girls just put in a tremendous effort and I’m very happy for them. … We weren’t really that worried at the half because we felt we outplayed them but just hadn’t finished under the hoop.” Erricson added that point guard Erika Johnson was outstanding despite recovering from an ankle injury. “Erika showed tremendous willpower to play the way she did after the injury she had and she made a huge difference to our team. She only got the cast off 10 days before the provincials started but she had an incredible last three games.”
