The Queen’s Gaels enter the Final 8 championship as the third seed after they posted a 21-1 regular season before a loss to the Carleton Ravens in the OUA title game last Saturday
The Queen’s Gaels look to take another big step in earning their place among the elite of U Sports women’s basketball.
“Hosting nationals last year was really eye-opening that we’re a team that can participate and compete at that level, and so I think the approach to this year was to really work toward that goal and being in the OUA finals,” added OUA first-team all-star forward Julia Chadwick. Queen’s, which opens the tournament Thursday against sixth-seeded RSEQ champion UQAM Citadins, feels ready and prepared for the road ahead in Sydney, N.S.
Canada West champion Alberta Pandas at No. 2, AUS champion Saint Mary’s Huskies at No. 4, the Calgary Dinos at No. 5, the Acadia Axewomen at No. 7 and host Cape Breton Capers at No. 8 round out the tournament.Chadwick, who averaged 16.4 points and a conference-best 12 rebounds per game this year, is one of six Gaels players in their fifth and final season, but she says that doesn’t place a burden on her team.
