First Round, Game 1
York House 60 – 58 John Oliver
J.O. came out flying and jumped on the Tigers including an opening 3pter. However, the Tigers stormed back. The lead changed hands several times throughout the course of the game. Neither team allowed the other any breathing room. What a battle. In the end York House hung on for the win but not without a dramatic finish with a J.O. 3pter being taken at the buzzer to win it…..’in and out’. So close…Incredible effort on both sides.

Lord Byng 66 – 38 Notre Dame
Lord Byng lead this game from the opening tip-off. Senior point guard Skylar MacDonald controlled the tempo, but picked up her third foul before half. Notre Dame sped up the game with a full court press and cut the Grey Ghost’s lead to twelve at the half 34-22. Both teams played hard, but with three players scoring in double digits including 20 from MacDonald, the Grey Ghosts were too much in the second half. Rose Orenzo played well at both ends of the court for the Jugglers, earning her player of the game honours.
