She had a big difference and turned the game around in the second half. She goes to the hoop well.” Kennedy told the Fredericton Daily Gleaner that “we decided we wanted it more than they did. We had a nice talk in the dressing room and decided we had to play some defence because we weren’t really playing it in the first half. Pollock led the Panthers with 11. Bannister added 20. Panthers coach Kent Howatt said “we started turning the ball over in the second half and that’s bad news against Hartland.
