DIVISION 1 WOMEN

Our Division 1 (AAA) teams played a doubleheader on the road at Montmorency Friday night. The first game, featuring 2 of the top women’s teams in Quebec and Canada, was a real nail-biter.

We trailed 13-8 after the first quarter and 25-21 at the half. We rallied in the 3rd quarter, and the game was tied at 38 going into the final period. We were down 1 point with a final possession, but could not score, and eventually lost 55-54.

Our leading scorer was Emily Prévost, who had 11 points and added 5 rebounds. Shabeka Taylor and Frédérique Potvin added 10 points each. Kennisha Luberisse chipped in with 7 points and 8 boards.

Our women’s team now has a league record of 11-3.

The Nomades cut the deficit to 11 in the 3rd quarter, but we took control again and re-established our 17-point margin going into the 4th. We went on a 19-2 run at the beginning of the 4th quarter to put the game away.
