        In pool B play: …………………………………………………… Diana Gray scored 14, Sopear Chinn 12 and Charmaine Izzard 11 as Manitoba thrashed NWT 88-28.

Katie Andrews and Katherine Walters each scored 13 for PEI. “I think we came out today with a lot more heart and pride,” said Walters. “We wanted to show them that though we are the smallest province, we have a good basketball program back home.” Other P.E.I. scorers were Mary Catherine Connolly, with 9 points, Elizabeth McPhail with 8, Allison Hubley, Laura MacPherson and Lindsey Coade with 2 apiece, and Rebecca Walker and Jenna Connolly with 2 each. The women’s game was relatively close throughout, although the Island squad had a poor start. Manitoba led at the half 33-21 but only outscored the Island 38-35 in the final 20 minutes. “It was definitely hard to get momentum but we pushed through it and we got through the hard times and that’s what counts,” Walters said.

P.E.I. women’s coach Chris Annett agreed that his charges got off to a less than great start. “We got ourselves behind the eight-ball, we came back and had it back to six at one stage and just didn’t have enough to finish it off. I don’t think the final score is really representative of the play of the whole thing. They have six kids off the University of Winnipeg . . . they have a number of university players who are used to being in that situation day in and day out. We really don’t have any of those kids at all.” …………………………………………………… Audrey Latendresse scored 22, Melissa Langelier, Kimberly Weir 14, and Lizanne Murphy 10 as Quebec pounded Alberta 73-56. Lauren Stagg led Alberta with 16. …………………………………………………… Jenine Browne scored 27 and Maureen Murrin 10 as Newfoundland defeated Manitoba 65-46.

Jenna Connolly added 9, Mary Catherine Connolly 5, Allison Hubley 4, Kristen Turtle 5, Jennifer Russell 3, Rebecca Walker 2, Lindsay Coade 2, Elizabeth McPhail 2 and Katie Andrews 1. The teams were tied 6-6 a few minutes in before Quebec went on a 23-3 run that the Island girls never recovered from. P.E.I.’s Lindsey Coade scored the game’s first basket as the Island players broke Quebec’s full court pressure and Elizabeth McPhail hit an 18-foot jumper to knot the score at six but that was the end of the highlights for the Island squad. “They play extremely well to start games,” P.E.I. assistant coach Karen Cameron said after the loss. “We haven’t been able to find our niche early in the game. Out of all our games here, we haven’t started strong . . .that is sort of a coaching, player issue. We are trying to find the right combination on the floor and the kids have to come out focused. It seems to be the first few minutes of a game that are killing us. The other teams are coming out really, really strong. It’s a whole different ball game if you come out on top for the first 10 minutes because your confidence is there. The other team is stepping back a little bit more . . . they are questioning if they should shoot that shot.” Quebec hit 33-60 from the floor and 7-12 from the arc. …………………………………………………… Holly Robertson scored 15, Jen Elford 13 and Nicole Dypolt 11 as Alberta defeated NWT 82-23. Haley Mathisen led NWT with 8. …………………………………………………… Maureen Murrin scored 15 and Amy-Lynn Brazil 11 as Newfoundland defeated PEI 72-61. Katherine Walters led PEI with 18. Elizabeth McPhail added 12, Jenna Connolly 8 and Lindsey Coade 8. A bad start cost the Island team once again as they were losing 41-21 at the half. In the second half, P.E.I. outscored Newfoundland 40-31. “We shot really poor in the first half and allowed a lot of transition baskets but in the second half, we shut down their transition game,’ said P.E.I. assistant coach Karen Cameron. …………………………………………………… Corine Jean and Marie-Eve Beaulieu-Demers each scored 14, while Genevieve Blanchette hit 13 as Quebec annihilated NWT 92-17. Megan Munro led NWT with 6. …………………………………………………… Katie Paterson scored 18, Christine Shewchuk 13, Lauren Stagg 11 and Jody Bell 10 as Alberta defeated Newfoundland 62-56. Jenine Brown led Newfoundland with 15. Maureen Murrin added 12 and Amy Dalton 10. …………………………………………………… Melissa Langelier scored 15, Corine Jean 12 and Audrey Latendresse 11 as Quebec thrashed Manitoba 78-58. Diana Gray led Manitoba with 12. Kate Daniels added 10. …………………………………………………… Laura MacPherson scored 10, Katherine Walters 8, Lindsey Coade 8, Elizabeth McPhail 8, Rebecca Walker 7, Kristen Turtle 6, Mary Catherine Connolly 5, Allison Hubley 5, Jenna Connolly 3 and Jennifer Russell 1 as PEI whipped NWT 61-10. Shawna Bury paced NWT with 4. The Island squad got off to a bit of a shaky start as the score was only 4-2 midway through the first quarter. After that, though, it was all P.E.I. “It was pretty fun,” said MacPherson, who also nabbed 10 boards. “We didn’t play as good as we could have in the very beginning, then we picked it up a little bit at the end. It’s really discouraging sometimes when you come to a big tournament like this and you play the bigger provinces that have so many more people to choose from for their sports and lose by 50 or whatever, but we try no matter what. It’s finally good to get a win under our belts.” P.E.I. coach Chris Annett said his troops were more physical. “We played fairly well for 35 of the (40) minutes tonight. Offensively, we just took them out of what they wanted to do. With our defence, we out-rebounded them based on size.” P.E.I. out-rebounded the Territories 47-22. “I am pretty happy for the girls, they’ve had a long summer,’ Annett said.

        In the semis, Katie Donovan scored 23, Jen Perugini 18, Sarah Zagorski 14, Sarah Sterling 13, Shona Thorburn 10, Chelsea Aubry 9, Emily Murphy 6, Jessie Lamparski 4, Julie Lamparski 2 and Alana Juzenas 2 as Ontario pounded Quebec 101-68.

The power went out with 7:30 to play at Alumni Hall at the University of Western Ontario, forcing the teams to trudge across the road in the pouring rain to smaller Thames Hall. The Newfoundland squad was undaunted, chanting pep rallies while they warmed up, as their fans shook plastic bottles filled with pennies and waved provincial flags. “Playing against the B.C.’s and the Quebecs and the Ontarios, it’s never easy,” said Newfoundland coach Tami Pennell. “We just ran out of steam. They’re much deeper than us, so I had to play some kids heavy minutes.”

        Yukon captured eleventh by nipping Northwest Territories 54-51 as Joy Nguyen scored 14, Megan Freese 11, Jennifer Racz 10, Jessica Lansfield 9, Alcina Banks 8 and Astrid Grawehr 2. Yukon also included Bell, Freese, Jackson, Karman, Karman, Scherer, Sidhu and Wald. Haley Mathisen led NWT with 18. Stephanie Kilburn and Megan Munro each added 10, Shawna Burry 5, Leona Johnson 4, Tara Bower 2 and Julia Pin 2. The Territories also included Ashby, Balsillie, Bourque, Bradbury, Pin and Taylor.

        New Brunswick defeated PEI 42-33 for ninth place as Jocelyn McIntyre scored 7, Amber Lenihan 6, Kristin O’Rourke 6, Carolyn Plummer 6, Hayley Porter 5, Amy Underhill 5, Sarah Melvin 3, Carolyn Peppin 2 and Melanie Walker 2. New Brunswick (coached by Monique Allain, Stephen O’Rourke and Patti Melvin) also included Ryan Mckay, Kristen Petruska and Natalie Ryan. Katherine Walters led PEI with 11. Elizabeth McPhail added 7, Katie Andrews 4, Lindsey Coade 4, Laura MacPherson 4 and Allison Hubley 3. PEI also included Cameron, Connolly, Connolly, Fisher, Russel, Turtle and Walker. PEI shot horribly, hitting only 5-29 in the first half. “We couldn’t put the ball in the net,” said assistant coach Karen Cameron. “We just couldn’t make open shots. We had all kinds of chances. We had a lot of open shots that we didn’t put down.”

        Nova Scotia captured seventh by defeating Manitoba 71-56 as Joanne Wells scored 22, Whitney Ffrench 15, April Scott 10, Katherine Quackenbush 7, Sara Limpert 5, Leslie Duncan 5, Heather Ross 3 and Leslie Stewart 3. Nova Scotia also included Andrews, Bailey, Clarke, Mochinski and Heather Rudderham. Nova Scotia was coached by Carolyn Savoy. Charmaine Izzard led Manitoba with 16.

Carolyn Ganes paced Saskatchewan with 25. Jana Schweitzer added 15, Leah Anderson 10, Sharlene Cooper 7, Margaret De Ciman 7, Jill Stein 7 and Lara Schmidt 2. Saskatchewan (coached by Lisa Thomaidis) also included Fairbrother, Gislason, Lieffers, Phillips, Singer and Swidrovich.

        In the bronze medal match, Quebec thumped Newfoundland 78-66 as Audrey Latendresse scored 22, Lizanne Murphy 21, Christina Lacombe 11, Anouk Boulanger 5, Melissa Langelier 5, Genevieve Blanchette 4, Emilie Langevin 4, Corine Jean 2, Patricia Mandeville 2 and Kimberly Weir 2. Quebec built a 41-30 lead at the half and extended it to 15 early in the second half. But Newfoundland rallied to within 65-64 with five minutes to play on a trey by Karyn Power. Quebec re-inserted its starters and quickly rebuilt a 10-point lead. “You can only play the Cinderella role so often,” said Newfoundland coach Tami Pennell. You can only battle back so often. They’re eight and nine deep and she (coach Sonia Ritchie) did a great job rotating players in that last five minutes, keeping fresh legs on the floor. I had to play Jenine 40 minutes and Maureen and Renee McGrath played 38 tough, tough minutes. We showed a lot of character. When you play six or seven kids so hard over seven games, I’m so proud of them.”

Jenine Browne led Newfoundland with 32. Maureen Murrin added 11, Karyn Power 7, Renee McGrath 5, Jessica Ryan 5, Amy Dalton 3, Michelle Bartlett 2 and Teresa Butler 1. Newfoundland (coached by Pennell, assisted by Amy O’Reilly and Doug Partridge) also included Catherine Steiner, Melissa Molloy, Amy Brazil and Sayer Walsh.

        British Columbia captured gold by pounding Ontario 69-59 as Danielle Langford scored 14, Lorena Jade Humble 13, Kim Smith 11, Devon Campbell 8, Katja Fuess 7, Julia Wilson 5, Maren Corrigal 4, Ashley Burke 2 and Annette Wright 1. Shona Thorburn paced Ontario with 13. Katie Donovan added 12, Jen Perugini 12, Ashleigh Cuncic 8, Sarah Zagorski 7, Alana Juzenas 3, Chelsea Aubry 2 and Sarah Sterling 2. “I’m pretty pumped,” said Langford, who hit 4-10 from the arc. “When we got together in March, the plan was to come here and win gold and we did. “We’re tall. We have the shooters. We work hard. We work together and we won when it counted.” Ontario trailed by 12 after three quarters but rallied to within three when Ashleigh Cuncic nailed a trey with 1:30 to play. But B.C. went inside to Kim Smith for a three-point play to ice it. “They made the shots, we didn’t,” said Cuncic. “Our offensive was too slow. They slowed us down with their size. We couldn’t get going in time. They were good and we weren’t. That’s the story. It was quite a trip to get to the gold medal game and we’re happy about getting there. But not about losing it. We felt it was ours.”
