SENIOR GIRLS

Second Round, Game 5
St. Patrick’s  54     Killarney  73  

It was a fast paced game between two teams who were evenly matched in speed and size.  The first half was a see-saw battle that favoured St. Patrick’s with the hot shooting hand and transition while Killarney dominated the boards.  Killarney held the lead 14-10 at the end of first and 32-30 at half-time.  In the end, the Cougars’ aggressive zone defense stiffled the Celtics’ outside shooting and steadily increased their lead to win 73-54.

Second Round, Game 5
St. Patrick’s  36       Eric Hamber  28

Hamber came out in a 2-3 zone and managed to keep St. Pat’s off balance in the half court, but St. Pat’s half court trapping and transition game pushed them to a 23-11 halftime lead.  Hamber continued to slow St. Pat’s in the half court and their full court limiting the Celtics until late in the quarter 30-21.  Through the fourth, the Griffins could never close the gap.  Final 36-28.
