Good Morning! We’re back at the Richmond Oval for another day of action. On Court A, we have BC-B vs the Alberta Roughnecks.
BC got off to an early lead, taking a 7-1 start over Alberta under the direction of coach Trevor Hirschfield. Alberta wisened to the play however, cutting the lead to within four points by dropping the man-to-man coverage and spreading out the floor in the second quarter. 26-22 at the break.
Things are a bit tighter in the game on Court B; Seattle held Portland within two points for most of the first half. We’re currently tied, at halftime, 21-19.
Speaking of breaks, maybe you’d like to relax on a long layover. A big shout to the Sheraton at Vancouver Airport for helping to make this possible.
I’ll update at the game’s end.
BC ran away with it in the 3rd, extending their lead to 8 points while Alberta rested Andrea Wojcik. Final score 56-45.
Seattle came alive in the 4th quarter, forcing Portland to make mistakes in their own end that ultimately cost the Pounders the game. This is Seattle’s first win of the tournament, falling yesterday to both Alberta and British Columbia’s development teams. Final score, 45-43.
The crowd was lively for this round! Good games to start the day.
EDIT: Seattle won their OT game yesterday against Alberta-B. This is their second win of the tournament.
You have Seattle’s record incorrect. Friday they beat Alberta in overtime and then lost to BC. With today’s win, they’re now 2-1.
