Alanna cut the margin in half with a trey with 20.7 seconds to play but the Rapids held on for the win. “I am an old softball guy and we used to talk about how if you could beat a team three times, a quality team, then you owned them in the hip-pocket,” Riverside coach Paul Langford told the Vancouver Province. “But that third win is always a nightmare.

The Hawks took command down the stretch when Brittany Wertman drained a trey, forcing the Wildcats to play the foul game in hopes of a rally. “Brittany hit a huge shot when she drained that three,” Mouat coach Paula Thompson told the Vancouver Province. Thompson added that Wildcat guard Jessica Jones was sensational. “What a great game Jessica played. We kept face-guarding her and she still kept hitting all of those shots.” Wildcats coach Anne Gillrie-Carre told the Richmond Review that “the kids battled hard against a height deficit game after game. Our tallest player is only five-foot-10, and having to battle that was a real challenge. It’s one thing to play one game with that deficit, but four in a row is a lot of punishment. We were able to take a lot of Mouat’s outside game away, but it was hard to keep them from scoring in the paint too while trying to sustain the kind of hard work it took to play that kind of defence. But we also have to do a better job of eliminating unnecessary fouls.” Alicia Roufosse paced the Hawks with 22 points and 12 boards. Cierra Roufosse scored 18, Penielle M’Bikata 14, Brittany Wertman 10 and Victoria Jacobse 3, while Adina Oprea, Callum Pilgrim and Alicia Unruh were scoreless.

In the semis, top-seeded Langley Brookswood Bobcats clawed the 4th-seeded Victoria Oak Bay Breakers 64-50. The Breakers led 14-11 after one quarter and 27-26 at the half. The score was knotted at 39 after three quarters as Sophie de Goede twice pilfered the ball for runout layups. But the Bobcats opened the final frame with an 18-2 run. “We went ice cold, they defended well,” said Oak Bay coach Rob Kinnear told the Vancouver Province. “To be honest, when we needed a bucket, I didn’t do enough to get us those easy looks. The girls laid it on the line. In the end, they made big plays and we didn’t.” Bobcat star Ainslinn Konig said that “I know what my teammates are capable of and I trust and believe in them. If I put a little extra pressure on them, they will get there, and tonight they ended up coming out with fire in their bellies and got it done.” All five players for both squads played 40 minutes, including Brookswood guard Julian Marshall, who hit two treys in the final quarter before suffering a bloody nose with 21 seconds to play. But her teammates helped her to stem the bleeding and change her uniform on the sidelines. “We’ve got five tough players and they are a tough team, too,” said Brookswood coach Neil Brown. “Nobody subbed. It was a war. It wasn’t pretty. It was who could run down the floor the fastest. And Konig keeps us in the game with some shots, and Marshall, I thought she did a hell of a job guarding (Oak Bay point guard) Morgan Roskelley. And Tayla (Jackson) did a great job on Lauren (Yearwood) to hold her to 10 points. That is two all-stars we were able to hold down. They didn’t have enough firepower and we have our Ace (Konig).” Aislinn Konig paced the Bobcats with 28 on 8-13 from the floor, 3-12 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 12 boards and 8 assists. Tayla Jackson added 16 on 7-20 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 17 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Mouat Hawks clocked the 3rd-seeded Port Coquitlam Riverside Rapids 68-53 after leading 14-12, 32-25 and 51-40 at the quarters. “It feels awesome and I am totally pumped to be in the show tomorrow,” said Mouat head coach Paula Thompson told the Vancouver Province. “But I sure hope we are better than we were today. We’ve got to improve our passing, our catching, the basics. Maybe tomorrow in our open gym we’ll stress those things. But it did seem today that we had a bit more steam, a bit more left in the legs. … A lot of these kids are seniors and they were at the show in Grade 10 so they know what it is like.” Riverside coach Paul Langford said “we were in the top four and that is pretty cool for this group. At the end of the year we will have beaten the provincial champs (during the regular season), we are the only team to have done that. I am proud of my kids. Mouat is very good and well coached and very deep and we needed to have some luck and we didn’t have any.” Penielle M’Bikata paced the Hawks with 24 on 8-27 from the floor, 8-10 from the line, 8 boards, 2 assists and 4 steals.

Konig picked up her fourth foul midway through the final quarter but she responded by coming down the floor and draining a trey, then pilfering the ball for a runout layup by Forsythe that gave the Bobcats a double-digit lead. The Bobcats five starters played all 40 minutes of both the semi and the final. “We thought that fatigue would play a role, but this is the biggest game of their lives,” Brookswood coach Neil Brown told the Vancouver Province. “We knew they could get by on adrenaline.” Konig said that “we will all sleep very well tonight but even though we played all 40 minutes tonight, our team on the bench cheered for all 40 minutes. They worked just as hard as us.” Mouat coach Paula Thompson, who retired after the game, said “we played so well for the first three quarters, but in the fourth we kind of fell apart and that was disappointing. I am not sure if it was nerves that took over but I am still proud of my team.” Brookswood senior Tayla Jackson added that “we had played Mouat a number of times already. Today, I felt more comfortable and experienced with how they work. I knew Ace was going to have a great game, but I also thought today that (senior) Amanda (Boettcher) had a great game. She is one of the most mentally strong people I know. I thought she really stepped it up today. And what better to end your senior season than with a win.” Brookswood assistant Chris Veale said “trailing at the half, we just kept plugging away. We told the girls to stick to what we do and it should work itself out, and luckily it did.” Konig called the win “surreal. We didn’t have the same skill we had last year. A lot of young players really stepped up.” Hawks assistant Tara Burton said “I don’t know what happened but in the fourth quarter we went cold. We didn’t take advantage of a bunch of good looks around the hoop and they burned us.” Aislinn Konig, who was chosen both MVP and defensive MVP of the tournament, paced the Bobcats with 26 on 6-10 from the floor, 4-13 from the arc, 2-3 from the line, 8 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.
