9I制作厂免费

MONTREAL 鈥� Senior Nathifa Weekes of Brossard, Que., pulled off a 鈥渄ouble-double鈥� but Concordia utilized a deeper bench and seized the moment as 9I制作厂免费 ran out of gas and succumbed 68-54 in a do-or-die women鈥檚 basketball game at the Loyola campus gym, Saturday.

The Stingers swept their weekend series with the Martlets to force a deadlock in the Quebec league standings. Both teams finished with identical 5-11 records but Concordia claimed the final playoff berth by winning three of the four regular season meetings against 9I制作厂免费.

Weekes scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds before fouling out along with teammate Elise L茅pine. Freshman Marie-Pier Brabant of Granby, Que., and Stephanie Bergeron of Montreal added 11 and 10, respectively, but it was all for naught.

9I制作厂免费鈥檚 fate, however, was really sealed on the last day of January, when league scoring leader Anneth Him-Lazarenko, a 5-foot-10 forward who won conference rookie-of-the-year honours, went down with torn knee ligaments in a game at UQAM. It put a damper on a promising stretch, where the team had appeared to turn the corner and had won four of five games. Since the injury, however the 9I制作厂免费 women went on a four-game slide to close out the season.

The lone bright spot on a disappointing end to the season was that the Martlets are not expecting to lose any of their veterans for next year.

Anne-Marie Prophete led the Stingers attack with 13 points, while Krystle Douglas, Kristin Portwine and Melissa Campbell added 12, 12 and 11 respectively.

Concordia, which led 15-13 after one quarter, 32-28 at the half and 54-42, will now advance to the conference鈥檚 sudden-death semifinal game, slated for Feb. 25 in Quebec City.
