Sluggish start, poor finish costly for Martlet hoopsters
A sluggish start and a poor finish proved to be difference and the McGill women's basketball squad suffered a 72-63 loss at Concordia in the fifth annual Shrine Classique at the Concordia gym, Saturday.
Freshman guard Marie-Pier Bastrash of LaSalle, Que., scored a game-high and career-best 25 points to go along with six rebounds but it was not enough. Kaylah Barrett, a 5-foot-7 guard from Brampton, Ont., scored 21 points for Concordia, which led 15-0 before McGill got on the board, then extended that lead to 23-9 after the opening stanza. McGill narrowed the gap to 34-31 at the half and rallied to take a 52-50 lead into the final quarter but were unable to hold on.
