Shauna Kent led St. Peter with 12. Courtnay Pilypaitis added 8 and Stephanie MacDonald 5. The Knights title hopes were dashed after being plagued by foul trouble, injuries and a sizzling performance by Rhoden. “She was phenomenal,” Knights coach Mario Gaetano told the Ottawa Citizen. “She hit three three-pointers, 5-of-9 from the line and controlled the game.” With several Knights in foul trouble, Pilypaitis limited by back problems and gunner Kent hobbled by a knee injury, the defensive options were limited, Gaetano added. “We tried to do all the rights but missed along the way.

Bronze isn’t what we came for but these kids deserved a medal.” The Lords also included Carley Bokor, Natalie Stacey.
