CALGARY — A quest to get to another Final Four fell short for the Winnipeg Wesmen Saturday afternoon.
The Calgary Dinos used a 13-4 run over the final 2:14 and stunned the Wesmen women's basketball team with an 84-74 win in a Canada West quarter-final.
The Wesmen, playing their fourth straight game without fifth-year guard
Kyanna Giles, got 24 points and 11 rebounds from
Julia Schatkowsky, the fifth-year transfer from CMU who played in her final game. She also had five assists.
Anna Kernaghan scored 14 while grabbing five rebounds and
Robyn Boulanger, also playing her final game, had 11 with five rebounds. Fifth-year transfer guard
Raizel Guinto scored nine points in her final game.
"This is an incredible group," Wesmen head coach Alyssa Cox said. "It's going to be tough shoes to fill next year. There's a lot of basketball knowledge and maturity and a lot of just quality people that we're losing. But they've done a great job leading the ship this year and setting the stage for the next group coming up."
The Wesmen trailed by nine heading into the fourth quarter but eventually pulled even at 71 on a Kernaghan jumper with 3:27 to go. But the Wesmen were held to just three points the rest of the way.
Mya Proctor had a career-high 25 points to lead the Dinos, who now advance to the Canada West Final Four for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
Annacy Palmer added 12 points, Pollyanna Storie 11, and Madison Landry had 15 off the bench.
The Wesmen shot 36.4 per cent from the field and 34.4 per cent from three. The Dinos shot 44.6 and 33.3 per cent.
