OSHAWA, Ont. – The Ontario Tech women's basketball team put up a fight in 87-53 loss against the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday night, and saw promising performances from their young stars.
After one quarter, the Ridgebacks trailed by just one possession, with several key buckets from Allie Dunnett (Sussex, N.B.), Felicity Villarin (Calgary, Alta.) and Adra Barnet (Winnipeg, Man.) keeping them within striking range before Laurier was able to pull away with the lead in the second quarter.
