ʼs Basketball: Head Coach - Randy Peron (stmu.wbb@gmail.com)ACAC Preseason Tournament at MRU: Games vs. Medicine Hat College / Lethbridge College/ SAIT
Women’s basketball continued their preseason preparation by
Tournament this past weekend. The team set out to improve on their previous performances while
focusing on some specific aspects of their overall game with 3 matches vs. strong ACAC Teams.
Struggling in the first game vs. Medicine Hat College, the team tried to compete against an athletic, wellcoached
opponent. After a difficult first three quarters, the ladies seemed to find their rhythm towards the
end of the 4th quarter, and finished strong with improved play and better execution. Player of the game
went to Lindsay MacWilliam for the Lightning.
Wanting to carry that over into their second match of the weekend, the women prepared to go up against
against Lethbridge College. Playing their best team game of the season the team competed hard
throughout the contest and with intense team play on both ends of the court battled the Kodiaks for the
entire match. Finishing the game with both better defense and more fluid execution of the offense, the
women proved to themselves that they can play hard and compete with ACAC teams. Player of the game
went to Kaitlin Harding, who showed leadership skills and poise on the court throughout the contest.
Their final game was a re-match vs. the SAIT Trojans. The women even competed as hard as they could
despite having a short bench due to injuries. The players stuck together throughout the contest playing
with only 6 players in the 2nd half. Player of the game went to Jorja Flagel who played very well against
some very strong players from SAIT.
