BC coach Mike McNeill told Kelowna This Week that “offensively, we’ve been standing around and we knew when we played against Quebec we’d better be moving. That was a really good team. … What brings teams together is team defence, and Kim McLeod did an outstanding job defensively. … And at the other end Daria Vandergraaf’s scoring was under control. It was really a team effort that’s won us games.” Daria Vandergraaf was named BC’s player of the game after scoring 16. Guylaine Blanchette earned the laurels for Quebec after notching 13. …………………………………………………… Alberta defeated PEI 69-58 as Joanne Clark scored 21. …………………………………………………… British Columbia whipped New Brunswick 77-56.

We are not very big at all and we have to be very aggressive.” Team B.C. was the first to get on the board after Kim McLeod stole the ball for a runout. B.C. never trailed in the game leading 15-5 after the first five minutes of play, and 44-23 at the half. “I was a little concerned about the team’s play because we were a little bit flat in practice,” McNeill added.
