| Dawson Blues 72, NAIT Ooks 66
In the final game of the day, the host Dawson Blues held off a late surge from the NAIT Ooks to secure a 72–66 victory. Dawson appeared to be in total control early on, taking a commanding 15-point lead into halftime. This dominant start was fueled by identical 17-point performances from Alice Michaud and Mia Simpson, with Simpson nearly recording a double-double while adding 9 rebounds and 6 steals to disrupt the Ooks' rhythm. However, the game tightened up in the final frame as NAIT mounted a spirited comeback. Led by Mikah Reed’s 15 points and a double-double from Grace Culshaw, the Ooks chipped away at the deficit. Despite the pressure, the Blues maintained their composure through efficient transition play and high-pressure defense to protect their lead until the final buzzer. With this hard-fought result, Dawson officially advances to face Saint-Jean in the bronze medal game this Saturday. |
