Bronzed Blues

Capilano Blues 84
CBC Bearcats 72

The second consecutive season the Capilano Blues are PACWEST bronze medalists after beating the CBC Bearcats on Saturday afternoon.

The Bearcats had a nine-point lead at the half, but the Blues chipped away with a strong second half and hung on for the emotional victory.  Offensively they shot 33% and got to the free throw line 38 times knocking down 82% of them.  Maddy Coffin in her final game led all scorers with 21 points and seven rebounds and was 7-7 from the line.  Barcha Hnizdilova struggled early on but found her groove as the game progressed and finished with 17 points.  Like she was on Thursday, Sheleese Hoilett was a sparkplug off the bench and added 12 points in the victory.

With the win the Blues capture their school’s 10^th PACWEST bronze medal.

It was a tough game for the Bearcats who had a short bench but got themselves into foul trouble.  They fought hard and shot 39% from the field but turned the ball over 21 times leading to points at the other end. Kagari Tomita was outstanding playing in her final game and scored 17 points while Jayla Huynh was strong off the bench with 15 points in the setback.
