Ravens outlast Martlets at Concordia cage tourney
By Earl Zukerman
MONTREAL -- Veteran guard Julie Hoo of Sudbury, Ont., scored 15
points as Carleton University edged McGill 56-53 in a
consolation-round game at the 2008 Concordia-Reebok women’s
basketball tournament, Tuesday.
Rookie Kendall MacLeod of Brockville, Ont., chipped in with
10-points and six rebounds for the Ravens, who improved to 5-7
overall.
For the Martlets, Elise Lepine, a freshman from Mission, B.C.,
tallied a game-high and career-best 16 points before fouling out.
The 5-foot-11 forward shot 6-for-9 from the floor, including
3-for-5 from three-point range, and made her only foul shot.
Teammates Nathifa Weeks, a senior from Brossard, Que., and freshman
Anneth Him-Lazarenko of St. Dorothee, Que., contributed nine points
apiece
Both teams got off to a sluggish start and Carleton held a slim 9-8
lead after the opening stanza. The Ravens led 24-21 at the half but
McGill rallied to take a 40-39 lead after three quarters.
Carleton, paced by eight rebounds from Tanya Perry of Barrie, Ont.,
out-rebounded McGill by a 32-20 margin. Caroline Hebert led the
Martlets, grabbing five boards.
McGill shot 39.6 per cent from the floor (19/48), 37.5 from the arc
(6/16) and 69.2 from the line (9/13), compared to the Ravens, who
shot 41.3, 38.1 and 52.6, respectively.
It marked Carleton’s second win against the Martlets in as many
outings this season as the Ravens prevailed 69-38 in a preseason
affair at Ottawa last October.
The Martlets went 0-3 at the tourney and have dropped six in a row
resulting in a 4-12 record overall. They will resume regular season
play when they host UQAM in the first of a home-and-home affair, on
Jan. 9. Tip-off is 6 p.m.
TOURNEY TIDBITS -- Alberta won the three-day tourney with a 71-65
conquest over Regina in the final. Memorial finished third after
defeating host Concordia 72-64. Alberta’s Anneka Bakker was named
tourney MVP, while teammate Emily Bolduc made the all-tournament
team. Others all-stars were Krystle Douglas (Concordia), Kelly
Himmelman (Memorial) and Rebecca Schmidt (Regina).
