Ravens pull away late in gritty match up
OTTAWA, Ont. – The Ontario Tech women's basketball team bounced back from a tough first quarter, but the Carleton Ravens pulled away late to take a 68-53 win in the Raven's Nest.
Brianna Morrison led the Ridgebacks with 18 points, shooting 6-for-13 from the field and hitting two three-pointers. Elliot Cowan added 11 points and six rebounds, while Kaleah Gosse contributed seven points and a team-high five steals.
Carleton set the tone early, outscoring Ontario Tech 24-6 in the first quarter. The Ridgebacks responded with a strong second quarter, scoring 19 points, but the Ravens maintained control. A 22-point third quarter from Ontario Tech cut the deficit, but Carleton's defensive pressure held the visitors to just six points in the final frame.
