Sport Shorts Baskgtball: Friday, February 5, the women’s basketball team ran their season record to 9-1 with a 78-63 defeat of the UCC Sun Demons. Carrie Rogers and Tammy Neufeld led the Royals’ attack with 20 and 18 points respectively. The men’s team, however, couldn't get past their foes from Kamloops, falling 69-61 to the same Sun Demons. Danny Elliot scored 24 points and Aaron Frampton had a 10 point, 15 rebound double double for the Royals. Satur- day, the men’s team de- stroyed the visiting CNC Kodiaks, 86-57. Elliot was the offensive leader again, as he dropped 25 points, comple- menting Frampton’s 15 point, 11 rebound effort. Volleyball: Friday, the women’s team took to the island to play the Camosun Chargers, demolishing their foes 3-0. Christine Bonish and Coralie Hiemstra led the Royals’ attack with 11 and 10 kills respectively. Saturday, the women’s team moved up the coast to Nanaimo to take on the Malaspina Mariners. Douglas became the first team this season to take a game from the Mariners, but eventually fell 3-2. Bonish and Hiemstra led the Royals’ offense again, recording 12 and 11 kills. Saturday, the men’s team faced off against the Mari- ners, defeating them 15-4, 16-14, 15-6. Chris Ward had 20 kills and Darryl McCrady 17 to lead the Royals attack. Because their ferry was cancelled on Friday, the men’s team made up their match with Camosun on Sunday. Despite 15 kills from Chris Ward and 9 kills from Justin Harder, the Royals fell to the league leaders, 3-0. Badminton: The DC badmin- ton team took home another team crown from their home tournament last weekend, collecting three gold, three silver and a bronze medal. Brandon Coutinho took gold in men’s singles, defeating his teammate Vincent Teo; Jennifer Wong and Thinh Nguyen won gold in mixed doubles and Allison Rice and Rachel Shiu brought home the gold in women’s doubles. In women’s singles action, Sherryl Catindig got the silver and Michelle Chen the bronze and in men’s doubles, Tom Nguyen teamed with Joshua Hughes to win silver. A tale of two halves Men’s bas- ketball team struggles then finds life Hamish Knox Last Friday’s game against the Cariboo Sun Demons was a tale of two halves. The first half was a testament to offensive inefficiency and the second was the opposite. The Royals looked like a team afraid to shoot in the opening minutes of the first half, that is, when they held on to the ball. Turnovers were a plague of both teams in the opening 20 minutes, resulting in a 10-10 score midway through the frame. “We were lucky to be in it in the first half,” said Coach David Munro after the game. “Cariboo did some things defensively that forced us away from the basket.” With his teammates mired in a first-half shooting slump, Scott Hill nailed two Classifieds 3-pointers early in the game, but went cold in the second half. The tight reffing carried over from the women’s game as the teams combined for 24 personal fouls in the first 20 minutes. This opened up the game a little, allowing each team to get more creative on offense and helping the Sun Demons to take a 30-28 halftime lead. UCC tried to put the game away in the first few minutes of the second half, going on a 14-0 run, which was snapped by a Danny Elliot shot from behind the arc. Douglas fed off the energy created by Eilliot’s trey, going on a 19-6 run, bringing them back in to the game and forcing Cariboo to take a time out leading 50- 47. However, a magical comeback wasn’t in the cards for the Royals that night, as they simply ran out of time and possessions, eventually falling 69-61. “When you get yourself in a hole of 15 points down, our zone [defense] got us back into the game, but you expend so much energy getting back into it [the game] you don't have enough for the knockout punch,” said Coach Munro after the game.
