Crusaders top Marauders to advance in tournament play
The Carlton Crusaders senior girls basketball team came out on top against their local rivals, the École St. Mary Marauders Friday afternoon. The Crusaders won it 65-37
The game was a quarter-final matchup in the Kelly Smith Memorial Tournament, hosted by St. Mary. With the loss Friday, the drought continues for the Marauders, who have still not been able to win the annual tournament.
Jenn Ferguson, coach of the Carlton team said she was impressed with her team’s effort, especially on defence.
“So we were pleased to see that when we decided to play player to player, which we haven’t played a lot this year, we’ve been playing a lot of zone, that the girls did a great job,” she said.
