The Goulbourn Stingers lost the first game against the
Durham Swish by a score of 46 to 29. The second game was
closely contested and resulted in a loss to the Whitby
Wildcats by a score of 27 to 29. As a result, Goulbourn team
moved to Division “A” play for the remainder of the
tournament. The next match was against the Thunder Bay
Wolves. Goulbourn needed to win this game to advance further
in the tournament. With strong defensive play and a patient
offence Goulbourn outscored the Thunder Bay team to advance
to semi final play the following day.
Early on Sunday morning the Stingers were matched against
the Capital Xelles. The Stingers opened the game with some
great defence, leading the Xelles by a score of 10 to 2 at
the end of the first quarter. The Stingers continued to lead
through the second half with Xelles slowly narrowing the
margin between the two teams. With the score tied in the
final minute of the game, Goulbourn scored a basket on their
final possession to lead the Xelles by a score of 38 to 36,
with only 4 seconds remaining. The Xelles failed to score in
the remaining time and Goulbourn advanced to the gold Medal
Game against the Hamilton Celtics.
The gold medal match-up proved to be another closely
contested match. However, foul trouble early in the third
quarter proved difficult for Goulbourn team to overcome. The
Hamilton Celtics were able to capitalize on foul shots
winning the game by a score of 45 to 35. As a result,
Hamilton won the gold medal in the tournament and Goulbourn
accepted the silver for their efforts over the weekend.
Stephanie Thompson was named Goulbourn Stingers’ MVP for the
championship game.
