UCC A BRONZE MEDAL FINISH AT NATIONALS
Well, it's all said and done. It seemed like the tournament just started and now it's over. The CCAA nationals ended about an hour ago with University College of the Fraser Valley crowned national champions. They took a commanding lead of 15 to 20 points on St. Thomas University of Fredricton, NB, and never looked back. The final score was 88-81 and the game just didn't match the game before as far as excitement goes.
After they lost their first game, some people may have thought the bronze medal was a long shot for the UCC Sun Demons, but they captured it after a dramatic 83-82 OT victory over Sheridan College of London, Ont. in the bronze medal game. The momentum switched back and forth from the beginning to the end. At the beginning it was UCC carrying the momentum and they were able to take a commanding 20-point lead in the second half, but in the final several minutes of reguation it was all Sheridan, as they forced turnovers and drew fouls off UCC on their way to tying the game at 73 with a game-tying shot at the buzzer. After Skye Buck was 2-2 on free throws in the OT period, Sheridan called a timeout with 12 seconds remaining. A final attempt to win the game by Sheridan just missed. With nationals now over I'll have a little more time on my hands to work on more important stuff, like school work.
See Shaun, this is a real post, and it marks two days in a row for me. Yeah not much, but don't worry, I'll keep them coming.
