Ravens edge Huskies 70-67 in Edmonton to defend U Sports women’s basketball title
Global News
The second-seeded Ravens won a 70-67 thriller over the top-seeded Huskies in Sunday's championship final at Edmonton's Saville Centre.
Protecting a three-point lead with one possession left in the U Sports women’s basketball title game, Carleton Ravens coach Dani Sinclair had a simple message for her team.
Do not allow any of the five Saskatchewan Huskies on the floor an easy three-point shot.
Her team responded. The ball got into the hands of Husky Logan Reider, but she was blanketed by two Ravens. She threw up a prayer of a one-handed shot that smacked the backboard, hit the front rim, and then rocketed harmlessly away from the basket.
With that, the Ravens defended their U Sports women’s basketball crown. The second-seeded Ravens won a 70-67 thriller over the top-seeded University of Saskatchewan Huskies in Sunday’s championship final at Edmonton’s Saville Centre.
“The message was to not let anyone shoot a three,” said coach Sinclair of her team’s final defensive stand. “There were multiple people on the floor for them that can (drain a three). We were just trying to make sure that nobody got a clean shot off.”
The Ravens’ scoring-by-committee effort outdid a heroic night from Saskatchewan’s Gage Grassick, who recorded 30 points for the Huskies.
After the game, a teary-eyed Grassick said she didn’t want to speak about her individual accomplishments.
“It’s more about the team effort,” she said. “You look at us as a whole, and not so much individually. I am so proud of my teammates.
