Powerful Lions beat Cougars

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

GAME 1: SAULT COUGARS vs LAMBTON LIONS

SARNIA –In the first game of the regular season the Cougars ran up against a very strong team in the OCAA loop. Lambton should be near the top of the standings when the dust settles. They are 13-0 including exhibition play in this young season.

 

Our girls came out with a strong first half effort against the Lions putting up 27 points.  Our two rookies had outstanding games in their OCAA debut. Skylar Toms was all over the court and hit three 3's and led the Cougars in scoring with 13 points. Our point guard from Whitefish was 4 of 7 from behind the arc hitting for 12 points. They stormed back in the 2nd quarter to make it a closer game thanks to 6 points by Clara Yanchuk and 3 defensive rebounds by Cassidy Sabourin putting the score to 43-27 at half.

However, Lambton found their groove again in the 2nd half putting the game out of reach for the Cougars in what would end up being an 83-44 final score.

Leading the Cougars scoring was Skylar Toms with 13 points and 4 rebounds and Clara Yanchuk with 12 points and 3 rebounds. Taylor Elliott also brought some stability off the bench for the Cougars with a team high 9 rebounds while adding 4 points.

 

GAME 2: SAULT COUGARS vs LAMBTON LIONS

SARNIA – While game one was tough game two would prove to be even more so on Sunday afternoon. Lambton would shoot 48% from the field during the game, providing overwhelming offence that led to a 104-50 loss for the Cougars despite their hard fight.

 

Bright spots for the Cougars in game two were Andrea Gorman with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists and Cassidy Sabourin with 12 points, 6 rebounds and a team high 34 minutes. Emma Filion would also provide some defense pulling in a team high 11 rebounds while adding 8 points of her own.

 

Up Next: The Cougars play an exhibition game against Lake Superior State University JV on Sunday November 3rd @ 6:00pm in the Sault College Health and Wellness Centre.
