Report
St. Mary’s won the 2016-17 Final after the disappointment of losing the final the previous year, however, it was not St. Mary’s all the way as Queen’s University broke out to an early 8-1 lead in the first quarter. Nicole O’Neill & Colleen McVeigh managed to level the scores at 9-apiece by the end of the quarter,
It remained level at halftime, with both sides on 19. A 14 point tally in the third gave the advantage to St. Mary’s as they built up a 33-25 lead at the end of the third, and they weren’t going to let that slip as Queen’s University’s rally early in the fourth was cancelled out by four St. Mary’s goals in succession as they matched each other through the quarter, finishing 43-35 to the St. Mary’s team.
