        In national Pool A play: …………………………………………………… The Peninsula Pioneers d’d the Alberta Selects 66-63 as Candi Lohr hit a pair of three pointers in the final minutes of play. …………………………………………………… The Alberta Selects whipped the Manitoba Frontier Express 77-60. Said Manitoba’s Angie Straub: “they’re in a lot better shape that we are. It still feels good out there but we needed a little more energy, a few more baskets and a bit more time.” Alberta included four national team members who’d been in Australia over the winter playing for the Canadian team competing at the Commonwealth Games.

        In pool B play: …………………………………………………… The B.C. Selects defeated Nova Scotia as Debbie Huband scored 20.

        In the semi-finals, Debbie Huband scored 29 to lead the BC Selects past the Alberta Selects 66-59.

In the other semi, Candi Lohr hit 23 in leading the Peninsula Pioneers past Nova Scotia.

        A double overtime final gave Ontario its first national title in 12 years as the Peninsula Pioneers nipped the BC Selects 74-72. “I’m so happy,” said guard Chris Critelli. “We’ve never done this before.” Critelli added that she was tired from playing four games in three days, “a little sore, a little bruised but certainly not beaten.” B.C. led 27-25 at the half. The teams were tied at 64 in regulation. In overtime, B.C. jumped ahead by four but Candi Lohr and Critelli hit buckets to tie it. Lohr fouled out with 37 seconds to play but B.C. missed its free throws and Ingrid Hobin hit the winning field goal with seven seconds on the clock. Critelli led the Pioneers with 20 points. Candi Lohr added 18. They called themselves the Peninsula Pioneers because all of their players came from the southern Ontario heartland. It was the province’s first title in 12 years and marked an achievement because club ball was all but disappearing within its borders. Critelli, a former national team member, moved on to the head coach position at Brock.
