“I liked the effort. The execution wasn’t what it should be at this stage but it is early. You won’t win too many games by scoring 51 points. It had to be a team effort. We are down Michelle (Bos, 3rd year, guard, Surrey, BC). She is a key to our offensive flow. We didn’t score that many points but team defense is something we stress. I was proud of everyone on that end,” TRU head coach Scott Reeves says.
“I like that we fought. We came to fight. We had a few lapses in the game, especially in the start of the fourth quarter. We didn’t come out to start the game as well as I would have wanted. We had a lot of young kids getting some experience today and they really, really battled,” MacEwan head coach Katherine Adams says.
