York gets steamrolled by women's basketball team
The women’s basketball team captured a major victory against York University on Friday after losing by only two points to Ottawa last Saturday. The Rams beat the Lions by about 20 points with a final score of 83-60.
But head coach Sandy Pothier was not surprised the team redeemed itself from the close defeat last Saturday.
“This is the second time we beat them,” says Pothier. “To finish No. 1 [in the OUA standings], you have to beat a team like York.”
Although the Lions came out strong in the beginning, they quickly lost their battle in the second quarter, with the Rams leading the way throughout the rest of the game.
Lisa Goldring scored the most points for Ryerson, earning a game-high 23 points. The next highest scoring players were Lacey O’Sullivan and Ashley MacDonald, each adding 13 points.
The biggest contender on the York team was Brittany Szockyj, scoring 19 points alone. However, she was outnumbered by two of the five biggest scoring players on the Rams, including Jenny Hobbs and Angela Tilk, who also scored in the double digits. Angela Tilk and O’Sullivan garnered the most rebounds, with eight and seven, respectively.
The women's team will face Ottawa on Jan 29 and Carlton on Jan. 30.
