EDMONTON — Protecting a three-point lead with one possession left in the U Sports women’s basketball title game, Carleton Ravens coach Dani Sinclair had a simple message for her team.
Her team responded. The ball got into the hands of Husky Logan Reider, but she was blanketed by two Ravens. She threw up a prayer of a one-handed shot that smacked the backboard, hit the front rim, and then rocketed harmlessly away from the basket.
The Ravens' scoring-by-committee effort outdid a heroic night from Saskatchewan’s Gage Grassick, who recorded 30 points for the Huskies. “Carleton’s a great team, they’re defending national champions for a reason. We gave it our all and, at the end of the day, we came up just a bit short.” "Gage Grassick, my gosh, she did a great job against us tonight and got us out of rotations and got us caught, and we left a lot of people open. So, I thought, finally, in the last three minutes we kind of settled in. … I’m just really proud of the performance we had in the last three minutes.”
“What does the MVP mean for me? At the end of the day, as long as I get a win for my team and we’re doing it all for each other, it really doesn’t matter,” said Pocrnic. “If I didn’t get it, I didn’t get it. It is what it is. I’m happy I got it, but at the end of the day, good for my team.”
