In the East quarterfinals, the 6th-seeded Toronto Varsity Blues upset the 3rd-seeded host Queen’s Golden Gaels 62-54. The Blues led 11-10 after one quarter. The score was knotted at 23 at the half. Toronto led 48-38 after three quarters. The two teams were tied heading into halftime at 23 apiece, but Toronto exploded for 25 points in the third quarter to open a 10-point lead moving into the final frame. The Gaels would score eight in the opening minutes of the fourth to cut the lead to two points and maintained pace with Toronto into the dying minutes. However, McNeely would score five points in the final 1:30 to seal Toronto’s win. “The start of the third quarter was our undoing, surrendering 23 points in the first 6 minutes and digging a 14 point hole,” said Queen’s coach Dave Wilson. “The start of the fourth quarter was our time to battle back, quickly erasing most of the deficit. Down two points, we had several possessions where neither team could find the bottom of the net. With time running out, we were forced to foul.” Nicki Schutz paced Toronto with 21 on 9-22 from the floor, 0-2 from the arc, 3-6 from the line, 10 boards and 2 steals. Erin McNeely added 18 on 7-15 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 5 boards and 4 assists. Katelyn McConnel notched 10 on 4-10 from the floor, 2-4 from the line, 5 boards and 3 assists. Joanna Medri added 9 on 3-10 from the floor, 2-8 from the arc, 1-2 from the line, 9 boards and 2 steals. Tania Meunier added 3 and Amanda Lum 1, while Emily Larson, Megan Stoncius, Emma Currie and Alicia VanKampen were scoreless. The Varsity Blues hit 24-67 (.358) from the floor, 3-20 (.150) from the arc and 11-19 (.579) from the line, while garnering 45 boards, including 14 on the offensive glass, 9 assists, 8 steals, 1 block, 15 turnovers and 14 fouls. Brittany Moore paced Queen’s with 19 on 6-14 from the floor, 2-8 from the arc, 5-5 from the line, 7 boards and 5 steals. Erin Skippon scored 12 on 6-12 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc and 9 boards. Maddie Soye notched 7 on 3-5 from the floor, 1-2 from the line and 7 boards. Christine Wallace added 6 on 3-12 from the floor, 0-5 from the arc, 2 boards and 3 assists. Hanna Koposhynska added 4 on 2-7 from the floor and 9 boards. Katie Guthrie added 4 on 1-9 from the floor, 0-4 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 3 boards and 4 assists. Richelle Gaudet added 2, while Jill Wheat was scoreless, while nabbing 4 boards. Paige Robinson was scoreless, while nabbing 2 boards and dishing 2 steals. Queen’s (coached by Dave Wilson, assisted by Adam Lynn) also included Emma Glasgow, Sydney Kernahan and Monika Szpytko. The Gaels hit 22-65 (.338) from the floor, 2-20 (.100) from the arc and 8-10 from the line, while garnering 48 boards, including 13 on the offensive glass, 11 assists, 12 steals, 2 blocks, 18 turnovers and 20 fouls.

        It took a while for the 4th-seeded Ottawa Gee-Gees to find a little traction but when they dug in, the Gee-Gees flattened the 5th-seeded Laurentian Voyageurs 77-67 in the East quarterfinals. The fourth-seeded Gee-Gees dictated the tempo of the contest and executed their defensive game plan with periodic savvy. “We did what we wanted to do for the most part, except for the last few minutes of game,” said Hannah Sunley-Paisley. Guard Katye Chase, whose quickness gave Laurentian fits, said the Gee-Gees “finally played the team defence we’ve been practicing all season. We were rusty all season, but we pulled it together.” The well-prepared Gee-Gees went with a smaller, guard-oriented lineup. The hope was that they could push the tempo and wear Laurentian down, but they also paid a heavy price as they were badly outrebounded early. Ottawa led 17-15 after a quarter as Marie-Eve Caouette posted up for a pair of buckets, but sloppy ballhandling, an inability to score in halfcourt sets as Laurentian collapsed as many as four defenders on Sunley-Paisley and some nifty play by Voyageur post Lisa Furchner soon had the Gee-Gees facing the short end of 23-20 count. A driving layup from Catherine Clouthier, though, plus baskets by Sunley-Paisley and Chase and a 10-foot baseline jumper by Sunley-Paisley gave the Gee-Gees a 30-27 lead by halftime. Ottawa ripped off an 11-2 run to open the second half as the Gee-Gees’ superior depth began to take a toll. Melina Wishart came off the bench to drill a three-pointer and drove for three layups to extend the lead to 59-42 after three quarters. Although the Gee-Gees eased off the pedal and lost their focus down the stretch, the Voyageurs failed to capitalize, rallying no closer than 10. Coach Andy Sparks graded the Gee-Gees’ performance as adequate. “It was OK. It was OK,” he said. “We were streaky. In the first quarter, we didn’t jump to the ball well enough, which has been one of our weaknesses all year, so they got some slips on us early. The defence was a lot better later. But we did establish and got the tempo where we wanted it to be.” Laurentian played the game without head coach Mike Clarke, who had been rushed to an Ottawa hospital a night earlier and was later diagnosed with pneumonia. Assistant coach Bill Gordon said the Voyageurs “struggled to find any flow offensively … and Sunley-Paisley did a nice job against us. … The girls played hard tonight. We didn’t flow offensively. Emilie Morasse knocked down some key shots and Paisley played strong as always.” Hannah Sunley-Paisley paced Ottawa with 20 on 7-13 from the floor, 6-7 from the line, 15 boards and 4 blocks. Emilie Morasse added 16 on 4-12 from the floor, 4-7 from the arc, 4-8 from the line, 5 boards, 2 assists and 5 steals. Melina Wishart added 13 on 5-8 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 3 boards and 2 assists. Kayte Chase scored 9 on 3-6 from the floor, 3-6 from the line, 4 boards and 2 assists. Jade Fair added 7 on 2-4 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 2 boards and 2 steals. Marie-Eve Caouette scored 6 on 2-4 from the line. Kelly Weir added 4 on 2-5 from the floor and 3 boards. Catherine Cloutier added 2, while Kizzy Clarke, Awo Farah and Courtney Berquist were scoreless. The Gee-Gees hit 27-66 (.409) from the floor, 6-19 (.316) from the arc and 17-26 (.654) from the line, while garnering 40 boards, including 13 on the offensive glass, 7 assists, 12 steals, 5 blocks, 15 turnovers and 22 fouls. Lisa Furchner paced Laurentian with 18 on 8-16 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 2-7 from the line and 9 boards. Norma Jean Roberts added 13 on 5-12 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 4 boards and 2 steals. Katie Goggins added 12 on 5-14 from the floor, 0-5 from the arc, 2-4 from the line, 8 boards, 3 assists and 4 steals. Mylaine Mageau added 10 on 4-9 from the floor, 0-4 from the arc, 2-6 from the line and 4 boards. Darrah Bumstead notched 8 on 2-5 from the floor, 4-4 from the line, 7 boards and 3 steals. Kauri Lafontaine scored 6 on 2-7 from the arc and 4 boards, while Lyndi Meloche, Kara Hilton, Kyla Czumrik, Julia Kay and Carley Blaseg were scoreless. Laurentian (coached by Mike Clarke) also included Lindsay Hocevar and Jenna Kennedy. The Voyageurs hit 26-64 (.406) from the floor, 3-21 (.143) from the arc and 12-23 (.522) from the line, while garnering 42 boards, including 15 on the offensive glass, 4 assists, 11 steals, 1 block, 22 turnovers on 20 fouls.

        In the East semis, the fourth-seeded Ottawa Gee-Gees stunned the 2nd-seeded host Ryerson Rams 84-74 after leading 23-21, 47-42 and 58-55 at the quarters. The Gee-Gees outscored the Rams 26-19 in the final frame to pull out the win. “The girls really stepped it up tonight,” said Gee-Gees coach Andy Sparks. “It was a really good win.” Emilie Morasse paced Ottawa with 21 on 7-10 from the floor, 5-6 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 7 boards and 2 steals. Kizzy Clarke added 19 on 6-8 from the floor, 7-8 from the line, 4 boards and 2 assists. Melina Wishart scored 13 on 4-8 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc and 2-2 from the line. Hannah Sunley-Paisley added 10 on 3-7 from the floor, 4-6 from the line, 11 boards, 5 assists and 6 blocks. Kayte Chase added 8 on 1-5 from the floor, 6-8 from the line, 3 boards and 5 assists. Kelly Weir added 7 on 3-7 from the floor, 1-3 from the arc and 3 boards. Jade Fair added 2 on 1-2 from the floor and 7 boards. Catherine Cloutier added 2 and Marie-Eve Caouette 2, while Awo Farah was scoreless. The Gee-Gees hit 26-51 (.510) from the floor, 9-15 (.600) from the arc and 23-28 (.821) from the line, while garnering 36 boards, including 8 on the offensive glass, 16 assists, 3 steals, 9 blocks, 17 turnovers and 22 fouls. Lisa Goldring paced Ryerson with 21 on 6-17 from the floor, 1-5 from the arc, 8-8 from the line, 6 boards and 4 assists. Lacey O’Sullivan added 16 on 4-12 from the floor, 3-9 from the arc, 5-6 from the line, 2 boards, 3 assists and 5 steals. Angela Tilk scored 13 on 4-9 from the floor, 5-6 from the line and 11 boards. Jenny Hobbs notched 12 on 3-8 from the floor, 2-4 from the arc, 4-6 from the line and 2 boards. Ashley MacDonald scored 7 on 2-12 from the floor, 0-8 from the arc, 3-4 from the line and 3 boards. Kelsey Wright added 3 and Alexandra Tkaczyk 2, while Dayana Gechkova was scoreless. Ryerson (coached by Sandy Pothier, assisted by Georgia Risnita and Rob Wright, student therapist Carmen Chan) also included Claire Askew, Aislind Syrotiuk, Caitlin Fraser, Stacy Pigden and Nicola Cohen. The Rams hit 21-69 (.304) from the floor, 7-31 (.226) from the arc and 25-30 (.833) from the line, while garnering 26 boards, including 10 on the offensive glass, 8 assists, 9 steals, 1 block, 6 turnovers and 22 fouls.

        To the casual observer, it might not seem that big of a step. Yet, to a team as unaccustomed to success as the Carleton Ravens women’s basketball squad, getting that first playoff win after being the nervous favourite to capture the Ontario University Athletics East division title was a tricky accomplishment. The top-seeded Ravens, though, eventually shook off their trepidation and dusted the sixth-seeded Toronto Varsity Blues 68-46 in the East semifinals. After a shaky start, the Ravens prevailed with defence, depth and determination. “Everyone was just so pumped up because it was our first playoff game and everyone had the jitters,” said forward Ashley Cleary. “Everyone was a little overanxious, but, in the second half, we got into it.” Toronto hung with the Ravens early as Carleton struggled to contain Blues post Nicki Shutz, but after a defensive switch, Cleary began to consistently force Shutz left, where she is less effective and the Ravens took a 32-24 lead at the break on late three-pointers by Alyson Bush, Jennifer Stoqua and Courtney Smith. Bush took total command in the second half, dictating the tempo, reading the floor impeccably and delivering creative feeds to her teammates as Carleton blew the game open. “We started to play our game,” she said. “We came out hard in the third quarter.” Coach Taffe Charles said Bush was exceptional. “She’s one of those playmakers that when things break down, she can make something happen out of nothing.” Alyson Bush paced Carleton with 17 on 6-11 from the floor, 3-4 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 4 assists and 3 steals. Ashleigh Cleary added 14 on 6-9 from the floor, 2-2 from the line and 4 boards. Courtney Smith added 12 on 4-10 from the arc and 6 boards. Ines Jelic added 9 on 2-3 from the floor, 5-6 from the line, 7 boards and 2 assists. Jennifer Stoqua added 6 on 2-6 from the floor and 2 boards. Sara Hickman scored 4 on 2-2 from the floor. Jessica Resch scored 3 on 1-6 from the arc, 6 boards, 4 assists and 2 steals. Elizabeth Roach added 2 and Kendall Macleod 1 on 1-2 from the floor and 3 boards. The Ravens hit 24-50 (.480) from the floor, 10-27 (.370) from the arc and 10-12 (.833) from the line, while garnering 29 boards, including 4 on the offensive glass, 13 assists, 7 steals, 2 blocks, 24 turnovers and 11 fouls. Nicki Schutz paced Toronto with 18 on 7-22 from the floor, 0-3 from the arc, 4-6 from the line and 18 boards. Joanna Medri added 10 on 4-7 from the floor, 2-3 from the arc and 5 steals. Erin McNeely notched 9 on 3-11 from the floor, 0-2 from the arc, 3-3 from the line and 5 steals. Megan Stoncius added 5 on 2-4 from the floor and 1-2 from the line. Tania Meunier added 2 and Katelyn McConnell 2 on 1-9 from the floor and 4 boards. Alicia Van Kampen, Emily Larson and Amanda Lum were scoreless. Toronto (coached by Michelle Belanger, assisted by Jim Henderson and Christine Cho, strength & conditioning Sandra DaRocha) also included Hayley Max-Lino, Robyn Fashier, Emma Currie and Grace Mahary. The Varsity Blues hit 18-58 (.310) from the floor, 2-11 (.182) from the arc and 8-11 (.727) from the line, while garnering 30 boards, including 14 on the offensive glass, 4 assists, 12 steals, 14 turnovers and 12 fouls.

        Start the bus and point it toward Hamilton. The 4th-seeded University of Ottawa Gee-Gees long journey has another leg to go: the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s basketball championships. For the fourth time in seven years, the Gee-Gees will carry the Ontario University Athletics East division banner into the tournament after stunning top-seeded Carleton 59-54 in the final. The Gee-Gees nothing-to-lose attitude topped the Ravens timidity as the Ottawa earned the right to host the Wilson Cup against the OUA West champs next Saturday. “We just played as a team. We played the way we know we can play,” said point guard Kayte Chase. “We had nothing to lose and they had everything to lose.” Post Hannah Sunley-Paisley said the Gee-Gees were determined to avenge a pair of double-digit regular season losses to Carleton. “I just really, really wanted to beat this team. We played as a team, less selfish than we have in the past and that was the difference.” The Gee-Gees quickly set the Ravens on their heels with an 11-4 run as Chase did a masterful job of pushing the tempo. Ottawa extended its lead to 24-10 as Sunley-Paisley repeatedly broke free in the blocks and the jittery Ravens missed open looks. Carleton rallied to within 28-20 at the half and opened the second frame with a 12-2 run capped by three-pointers from Jessica Resch and Jennifer Stoqua. But only Ines Jelic overcame her nerves and the Ravens continued to play tentatively as Ottawa rallied from a 49-45 deficit with a 14-4 run down the stretch. Coach Andy Sparks was elated with the Gee-Gees resolve. “We didn’t quit when they got up on us. … A month ago, I don’t think a lot of people would’ve thought we could do that. A month ago, I was questioning it too. Hannah was key. She was really patient.” Carleton coach Taffe Charles was disconsolate. “The kids that needed to make decisions really were nervous. We got in a hole early and then we expended a lot of energy to get the lead. And at the end, when we had shots we could make, we were just too tired.” With 2:28 remaining in the fourth quarter and the score tied at 49 apiece, third-year guard Émilie Morasse (Québec, Qué.) pulled one up from the three point line to pull ahead by three. With the national championship appearance on the line, both teams battled it out until the very end, but the Gee-Gees would maintain their lead and take the title. Sunley-Paisley, chosen player of the game, could not have been happier: ”Last year we beat the University of Toronto at the University of Toronto, and this feels a hundred times better. It’s just great. I love that we’re going to nationals and I love that we beat Carleton on the way to making it [to nationals] and we did that as a team.” Sparks said “I am very proud of these girls, they really played a great game. Hannah, really, was very key, she was very patient today,” added Sparks. “We know that sometimes with her she gets flustered, but she was very patient today and really came through for us. Carleton had an outstanding season this year and I think they had a lot more pressure riding on them coming into this game.” Hannah Sunley-Paisley paced Ottawa with 26 on 11-14 from the floor, 4-4 from the line, 8 boards, 2 assists and 4 blocks. Emilie Morasse added 10 on 3-10 from the floor, 2-4 from the arc, 2-4 from the line and 6 boards. Kayte Chase scored 9 on 3-5 from the floor, 3-4 from the line and 3 boards. Melina Wishart added 5 on 2-4 from the floor and 1-3 from the arc. Marie-Eve Caouette scored 4 on 4-4 from the line and 2 boards. Kizzy Clarke added 3 on 1-4 from the floor and 7 boards. Kelly Weir scored 2, while Jade Fair, Awo Farah and Catherine Cloutier were scoreless. The Gee-Gees hit 20-45 (.444) from the floor, 3-9 from the arc and 16-22 (.727) from the line, while garnering 27 boards, including 5 on the offensive glass, 3 assists, 4 steals, 4 blocks, 15 turnovers and 15 fouls. Ines Jelic paced Carleton with 23 on 10-14 from the floor, 3-4 from the line, 7 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals. Courtney Smith added 10 on 3-9 from the floor, 2-7 from the arc, 2-3 from the line and 2 boards. Ashleigh Cleary scored 8 on 3-12 from the floor and 2-4 from the line. Jennifer Stoqua notched 6 on 2-7 from the floor. Jessica Resch added 3 on 1-4 from the arc, 4 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals. Kendall Macleod added 2 on 2-4 from the line and 5 boards. Sara Hickman added 2, while Alyson Bush was scoreless on 0-5 from the floor, 3 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals. Elizabeth Roach and Jody Duncan were scoreless. The Ravens hit 20-59 (.339) from the floor, 5-23 (.217) from the arc and 9-15 (.600) from the line, while garnering 23 boards, including 10 on the offensive glass, 9 assists, 9 steals, 3 blocks, 13 turnovers and 21 fouls.

        In the West quarterfinals, the 4th-seeded Brock Badgers clipped the 5th-seeded McMaster Marauders 72-66. Liz Burns got MAC’s first points at 9:45. Hillary Woodside tied it up at 8:37. Hailey Milligan started the Marauders on a 7-0 run that saw them ahead 9-2 by 7:01. Then it was Brock’s turn. They scored 5 unanswered points to pull within 2, 9-7, by 6:38. The teams traded a couple of baskets but another 5-0 run by the Badgers tied the score at 13-13 with 1:21 left. A Taylor Smith 3 with 10 seconds left completed the scoring making the score McMaster 16-13. Tara Giallonardo got the first points of the second quarter, a 3 which tied the score. Taylor Smith got McMaster’s first points at 9:08. Once again the Badgers put together a modest run of 6 points to take the lead 22-18 by 8:03. A McMaster run of 9 points saw them ahead 27-225. Then Brock had another run, of 7 points, restoring their lead 29-27 at 2:13. In the remaining time, MAC tied it up, lost the lead, tied up again, and then regained the lead 33-31 to end the half. The third quarter started with Hailey Milligan getting her own personal run, 6 straight points, to put the Marauders ahead 39-31. Emily McKay got Brock’s first basket at 7:24. MAC replied and held a modest lead until 5:05 when Whitney Gorges’ basket got the gap down to 43-42. This set the pattern for most of the rest of the quarter. McMaster would build up a small lead and Brock would cut it down again. The quarter ended with McMaster ahead 52-50. In the fourth quarter Hailey Milligan started MAC on a 6-0 run that saw them ahead 58-50 by 8:20. Hillary Woodside’s pair of free throws began a 6-0 Brock run that pulled them to within 2, 58-56, at 5:03. MAC got another basket but a 5-0 run, capped by a Whitney Gorges’ 3 put Brock up 61-60 at 4:10. Hailey Milligan got a pair of free throws and a basket to restore the Marauders’ lead and make it 64-61 at 2:39. Tara Giallonardo pulled Brock to within 1, 64-63, at 2:22. Hailey Milligan got another basket for McMaster at 1:58 but the Badgers were not to be denied, scoring the final 9 points of the game, to come away winners. Hillary Woodside paced Brock with 21 on 7-13 from the floor, 3-6 from the arc, 4-4 from the line, 9 boards and 3 assists. Whitney Gorges added 17 on 5-12 from the floor, 3-4 from the arc, 4-4 from the line and 2 boards. Tara Giallonardo added 15 on 4-4 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 6-7 from the line, 2 boards and 4 steals. Devyn Cuncic added 7 on 3-7 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc, 5 assists and 2 steals. Hayley Neal scored 5 on 1-5 from the floor and 3-4 from the line. Lauren Stewart scored 3 on 1-2 from the arc, 6 boards, 3 assists and 4 steals. Britt Pegg added 2 and Emily McKay 2 on 1-8 from the floor, 0-2 from the line, 2 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals. Jess Del Signore was scoreless. The Badgers hit 23-61 (.377) from the floor, 9-19 (.474) from the arc and 17-21 (.810) from the line, while garnering 30 boards, including 9 on the offensive glass, 17 assists, 14 steals, 2 blocks, 10 turnovers and 13 fouls.

        In the other West quarterfinal, the 3rd-seeded host Lakehead Thunderwolves dispatched the 6th-seeded Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 70-64. Tasia McKenna, a senior point guard from Timberlea, Nova Scotia scored 15 in the second half as Lakehead used an 18-6 fourth quarter effort to escape with the win. Fuelled by one of the loudest Thunderdome crowds in recent memory, the ‘Wolves opened up a six-point halftime lead over the Hawks. From there Mallory Kohlmeier and the Hawks took over with a 30-18 third quarter to build a six-point of their own entering the fourth. Kohlmeier had all 19 of her points in the second half to nearly deflate the hosts. Instead, the ‘Wolves played arguably their best quarter on the season in the final 10 minutes, holding Laurier scoreless over the final eight minutes to spark the comeback from a 64-56 deficit. After Chiaki Nakamura tied the game with a pair of free throws Emily Ross scored in traffic off a feed from McKenna to put the hosts up 66-64 at the midway point of the quarter. They never looked back from there as the Fieldhouse crowd erupted into a frenzied chant of “Kiss Him Goodbye” in the final moments of play. Seven-year head coach Jon Kreiner picked up his first postseason victory with the team, having led them to the playoff in three of the past four seasons. “What a game,” he said. “From a defensive battle to a great quarter offensively by Laurier to the best defence we’ve played all year. We completely locked down Laurier with great pressure defence while Tasia McKenna provided the offense. Tasia was amazing tonight. Your best players need to rise to the occasion in playoffs and Tasia certainly did that. I am so proud of the team. We worked so hard to get to this point and we now have the opportunity to advance further.” Tasia McKenna paced Lakehead with 26 on 9-20 from the floor, 2-10 from the arc, 6-8 from the line, 3 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals. Lindsay Druery scored 12 on 6-15 from the floor, 9 boards and 3 assists. Emily Ross scored 7 on 3-8 from the floor and 8 boards. Sarah Gordon scored 7 on 3-9 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 5 boards and 2 assists. Chiaki Nakamura scored 7 on 2-4 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 4 boards and 4 assists.

        In the West semis, the 2nd-seeded Western Mustangs whipped the 3rd-seeded Lakehead Thunderwolves 84-58. The Mustangs played a strong first half holding the lead with a score of 41-30. Lakehead continued to struggle in the second half with Western at one point taking the lead by 20 points. With the score 73-41 after the third quarter the Thunderwolves were held to no baskets until four minutes into the fourth quarter. Down 41-30 at half-time, Lakehead fell behind even more during a tough third quarter in which the Mustangs outscored the Thunderwolves 32-11. A stingy defensive effort from the home side kept LU at bay from their as the Pack’s leading-scorers, Tasia McKenna and Lindsey Druery were non-factors for much of the night. “Obviously we’re disappointed in the result of the game,” said ‘Wolves coach Jon Kreiner. “We never really put ourselves in a position to get any rhythm or flow. Western deserves full marks for their execution offensively and they played great defence on Tasia and Lindsay Druery. Overall we had a great season.

        In the other West semi, the top-seeded Windsor Lancers dumped the 4th-seeded Brock Badgers 73-65. The Badgers came out playing hard as they used strong defensive play and aggressive rebounding to take a 15-14 first quarter lead. The Lancers had trouble containing Brock’s Whitney Gorges as she helped the Badgers extend their lead at halftime to 36-33. In the third, Windsor completely took over as they found their rhythm on offence and picked up their defensive pressure to take over the lead. They outscored Laurier 33-12 in the quarter to take a commanding 66-43 lead. Brock tried to battle their way back in the fourth quarter but it was too late. Shavaun Reaney paced Windsor with 18 on 6-13 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc, 3-6 from the line, 4 boards and 6 assists.

        In the West final, the top-seeded Windsor Lancers edged the 2nd-seeded Western Mustangs 66-61. The Mustangs led by as much as 10 points but struggled with shooting in the fourth quarter, and fought a late string of bad luck with the rim in the loss. “We battled as hard as we could, but we could just not get the job done,” said Western guard Amanda Anderson. “I have no regrets though. Everyone wants to win in sport and we just did not come out on top. The team will have to hit the drawing board again and work hard.” The Lancers outscored Western 37-26 in the second half. The Mustangs made Windsor pay for its mistakes, outscoring them 19-5 on points off turnovers. Western head coach Stephan Barrie was disappointed with getting close to unseating the OUA’s top ranked team. “But at the end of the day we knew if we held them to a score in the low 60s that would give us a chance to be in the game,” he said. “But we had a couple of threes that went half way down the cylinder and came out. Those two go down for us and we would be walking out with a win. It’s a hard pill to swallow.” After trailing early, Western clawed back to take a lead late the first quarter when OUA West second-team all-star Katelyn Leddy scored to give Western an 8-7 cushion. The Mustangs carried a 10-9 lead into the quarter break. In the second quarter, a number of Mustangs stepped up along with a dominant defensive presence. Senior forward Lauren Parkes changed the momentum with a nice roll with the ball along baseline, scoring on a reverse layup, then Kelly Moulden drew a foul and hit one from the charity stripe to extend the lead to 15-9 for Western. Anderson scored on a jumper to stretch the lead to 21-13 Western with seven minutes left in the first half. But Leddy picked up back-to-back fouls – one an undisciplined foul in the Windsor end of the floor – and the Lancers were able to claw back with the forward on the bench. Jacklyn Selfe drained three to give Western its biggest lead of the game at 30-20 with 3:13 left in the first half but an Emily Abbott three with just over two minutes left in the half. Western led 35-29 at the break and the Mustangs controlled the tempo, and played well defensively. “We were not going to hold a team like that down the whole game, we knew they would start hitting their shots,” Barrie said. An open basket for Moulden made 43-38 for Western after an end-to-end drive by rookie Beckie Williams but Jessica Clemencon drew contact, drained a shot and hit from the charity stripe for a three-point play to pull the Lancers within two points. Clemencon’s three-point scoring play changed the momentum of the game in Windsor’s favour for good. Parkes answered with another nice reverse layup to restore the four-point lead but Reaney answered back immediately for Windsor as a seesaw battle ensued. A three from Mullins made it 46-45 Windsor for their first lead since the first quarter. The Lancers held the lead, 48-47, after the third quarter. In the fourth, Mullin drained another clutch three to open the quarter and put Windsor up 51-47 before Williams earned possession after a steal and sunk one from down-town to pull Western within one point. With a chance for three, Williams saw her shot go in and out with 4:30 left in a quarter with a number of nervous turnovers as Western trailed 57-53. It was that kind of quarter for both teams offensively. A Moss three also rolled in and out of the rim and Western could not get back into the game. Selfe left the game and looked quite woozy with 1:48 left after taking contact to the head. In the closing minutes, Western did all they could to try to regain the lead. Clemencon was fouled and missed her first shot from the line, but made her second to keep the lead at five points, 63-58. But Anderson did what she has done her entire Western career, draining a clutch three with 19.4 seconds left to cut Windsor’s lead to 63-61. After a Mullins free-throw, Windsor prevented Anderson or Williams from getting the ball and Parkes took a rare three-point attempt in the dying seconds which roll off the rim and out. Laura Mullins paced Windsor with 17 on 5-10 from the floor, 3-8 from the arc, 4-5 from the line and 3 boards. Shavaun Reaney scored 15 on 6-13 from the floor, 0-2 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Kelly Moulden scored 5 on 1-2 from the floor, 3-4 from the line, 2 assists and 2 steals. Melissa Rondinelli and Sarah Mallen were scoreless. The Mustangs hit 21-61 (.344) from the floor, 5-18 (.278) from the arc and 14-20 (.700) from the line, while garnering 36 boards, including 15 on the offensive glass, 7 assists, 11 steals, 4 blocks, 14 turnovers and 16 fouls.

        In the Wilson Cup, it almost seemed like

déjà vu. Last year, the University of Ottawa women’s basketball Gee-Gees were the surprise Ontario University Athletics East division titlists, got clocked in the Wilson Cup by the OUA West champ Windsor Lancers and were then quickly dispatched in the opening round of the Canadian Interuniversity Sports championships. This year, the Gee-Gees stunned the Carleton Ravens to win the OUA East title and were clocked in the Wilson Cup. They’ll again draw a low seed at the CIS nationals in Hamilton next weekend, where they are expected to extend the OUA East string of meek opening round losses to nine. The Lancers dispatched the Gee-Gees 83-55 on Saturday at Montpetit Hall by dominating every single facet of the game. “Our goal was to come out strong and to play every quarter like it was zero-zero,” said guard Emily Abbott. “We got our inside-out game going. We boxed out well. Our posts did a wonderful job.” Indeed, Windsor schooled the Gee-Gees, breaking to a 25-12 lead as their ballhawking and crisp ball movement generated runout layups or open treys by Bojana Kovacevic, while post Jessica Clemencon scored at will in the blocks and their post defence completely neutralized Gee-Gee star Hannah Sunley-Paisley. Then their superior depth and boardwork began to take a toll as they extended their margin to 46-19 at the half on late treys by Abbott, Shauvan Reaney and Miah-Marie Langlois. They led by as many as 38 in the second half. “We were ready and wanted this game,” said Clemencon. “We just played our game, got the ball inside and then moved it around to the open shooters.” Coach Chantal Vallee said the Lancers intensity and focus were impeccable. “We came in and focused on ourselves. We were really motivated to win a second OUA championship in a row,” she said. “I’m fortunate to have really talented athletes and physically, they can run for a long time and they’re skilled as well. When we play our best basketball, we’re tough and it’s very easy for me to coach.” Gee-Gees coach Andy Sparks said his troops appeared to lose confidence after digging an early hole. “We needed to hit some shots early,” particularly against a squad that is “100% the most talented team in Ontario.” Jade Fair said “they took Hannah out of the game so it put a lot of pressure on other players. We wanted to shut down their tall players, but it didn`t happen.” Sparks said “we were beat by an excellent team today. Far and away one of the best teams we’ve played this year. Their early momentum put us on our heels and we didn’t recover. It is a good game going to nationals. It was a real eye opener for us as we prepare for national championships next week.” Jessica Clemencon paced Windsor with 19 on 8-13 from the floor, 3-5 from the line and 6 boards. Bojana Kovacevic added 15 on 5-7 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 7 boards and 4 assists. Emily Abbott added 10 on 4-8 from the floor, 2-4 from the arc, 3 boards and 2 steals.

The Lancers hit 30-61 (.492) from the floor, 9-17 (.529) from the arc and 14-17 (.824) from the line, while garnering 41 boards, including 8 on the offensive glass, 17 assists, 13 steals, 4 blocks, 12 turnovers and 14 fouls. Emilie Morasse added 11 on 4-10 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 2-4 from the line, 8 boards and 2 assists. Jade Fair added 10 on 5-11 from the floor, 2 boards and 2 assists.

        After the season, Brock athletic director Dr. Lorne Adams announced that Si Khounviseth had been appointed the full-time coach of the Badgers. Khounviseth has been with the Brock program since 2006-07 as an assistant coach and this past season was the interim head coach leading the Badgers to a fourth place finish in the OUA West with a 13-9 conference record and 20-12 overall record. “We are pleased to have Si assume the head coach position in a more permanent capacity,” said Adams. “He knows the players, knows the league and is well qualified to develop this young team. His energy, enthusiasm and commitment are infectious. I look forward to watching him grow and develop and lead this team towards a national championship.” Khounviseth said “I am extremely honored and excited to be named the new head coach of the Brock women’s basketball program. Brock is a great place and the basketball community is passionate. This is something I have dreamed about – to one day be a university basketball coach. I couldn’t ask for a better situation for me. I love the university and the athletic department is a great atmosphere. It’s a surreal feeling! I have to thank so many people who have helped me get to where I am. I want to thank all my former players and parents who have supported me and continue to support me. Thank you to the current players and also to our men’s coach Ken Murray for all your support. Thank you to my assistant coaches Rob Anderson and Taylor Drysdale for being here with me and driving from Hamilton to Brock for practices and games. To my family for supporting my dreams. A special thanks to Dr. Lorne Adams for believing in me and giving me the opportunity. Lastly I want to thank Chris Critelli. I would not be here without your guidance and support. You gave me opportunity to be an assistant coach with you and believed in my abilities to coach at this level. Your mentoring has been invaluable.” Khounviseth has been a head coach with the Hamilton Transway basketball club for eight years. During that time, he led his teams to three OBA championship titles and one silver medal. At the high school level, Khounviseth served as an assistant coach with the St. Mary’s Senior Girls team in 2004 who captured an OFSAA ‘AAAA’ silver. He also coached the St. Mary’s Junior Girls to consecutive city championships in 2002 and 2003.

        After the season, Brad Schur resigns as coach at RMC and is replaced by James Bambury, who hailed from Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, where he began his playing and coaching career. James went onto Queens University, where he played for three seasons from 2000-2003 while completing his undergraduate degree. Bambury has spent the past three years with the Leeds Carnegie Basketball program, a university-based club team at Leeds Metropolitan University, in the United Kingdom. He took over the women’s program in late October 2008. “We are very excited to have James lead our women’s basketball program,” said Darren Cates, RMC Director of Athletics. “James is very passionate about the sport and brings in a wealth of international experience. Having coached women’s basketball at the international level, James will help tremendously in leading RMC to the next level”. Bambury said “the opportunity to work with such great individuals at RMC, both on and off of the court, is an honour. It will be a great challenge to compete in the OUA, and after having coached in England with and against some of the best players and coaches Great Britain has to offer, I know what it takes to ensure we will be prepared to get better every single day. I look forward to the challenges of the seasons to come.”
