Semifinal, Game 7
Point Grey 37 – 36 Eric Hamber

First Semi-Final game of the evening for the juniors and it was a doozy.  Slow start for both teams, first basket at 4 mins.  Point Grey was able to convert transition runs, leading into the half 21-16.  The second half saw back and forth action, with Greyhounds 2nd chance points, and Hambers 3 pointers. With 2 mins left in the game, #21 Sophie Johnson (PG) hit a big 3, Greyhounds leading 37-34.   Hamber made a push in the final seconds, but PG made steal to secure the game.  Great game!

SENIOR GIRLS

Consolation Round, Game 5
John Oliver 48 – 57 Notre Dame

A really entertaining game with Notre Dame squeaking out the victory. JO has a very undersized team and started slow but as soon as they started pressing and hitting some 3’s got themselves back in the game.
