It was a very busy weekend for our women’s Division 1 (formerly AAA) basketball team, as they were the hosts for 3 exhibition games.

Our women completed the weekend sweep on Sunday, but the last game was much tougher. We beat St. Mary’s of Hamilton, Ontario 71-68 in a game that went down to the wire. Frédérique Potvin (seen at right) had 19 points and 5 rebounds. Emily Prévost had another great game with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kennisha Luberisse had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 steals.
Thanks to all the alumni who participate in our men’s basketball Alumni Day on Saturday. Both our Division 1 (AAA) and Division 2 (AA) men’s basketball teams got to play 2 games which will help us get ready for the season, and it was great to see so many familiar faces.
Our annual men’s AAA vs. AA (now Division 1 vs. Division 2) game will be this Friday night at 7:00 P.M. at the Vanier Sports Complex. Our Division 1 team will also play Brebeuf College at home on Saturday at 3:30 P.M. Come out and support your Cheetahs!
