McGill Martlets advance, looking for second straight national title
REGINA — The No. 4 McGill Martlets have advanced to the next stage in their attempt for back-to-back national championships.
Frederique Potvin led all scorers with 16 points as McGill erased a five-point deficit at halftime to beat the No. 5 McMaster Marauders 55-39 on Thursday in the quarterfinals at the U Sports women’s basketball championship.
The Martlets trails 27-22 at the break, but held the Marauders to just 12 second-half points on 4-of-33 shooting en route to the victory.
Potvin nearly matched McMaster’s offence all by herself with 10 points in the final two quarters.
