Vikettes coach Gillian Ellis said “there are no words to explain how proud we are of the entire team. Ten players represented themselves at a high level for four months, but saved their best basketball for the big finale. We had a very experienced and well-rounded group, who embodied the characteristics of how to play as a championship team. … Everyone was committed to doing the work and it paid off. We accomplished the goals set at the beginning of the season, one of which … winning a third provincial title. Our seniors – Danielle Young, Ashley MacEachern, and Lauren MacEachern have been a large piece of each provincial win. … These three have played together for a long time. Although it will be tough seeing them wear opposing jerseys. It is an exciting and well-deserved opportunity for them. It is a bittersweet feeling to see this season end because we were a family. To be a part of something like this is special and doesn’t happen all that often. I have coached sport in Amherst for many years, but this is one of the teams I will be talking about when I am reminiscing many years from now.” Emma Hachey paced the Gators with 17. Serena Dolan added 7.
