WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

This weekend the Royals
women’s basketball team con-
tinued its Jekyll and Hyde ap-
proach to league play.

Friday, Jan. 26, Douglas
travelled to Capilano to play the 3-2
Blues. Royals (1-2) watched
Capilano come out hot to lead 10-0
and run it up 23-6 against the
Royals before the Royals turned it
around. Full court pressure by
Douglas helped them tie the game
at 47 halfway through the second
period, and emerge with a 62-54 vic-
tory over Capilano. Crystal
Caldwell led with 27 and Lorraine
Denis followed with 14.

Saturday night Douglas Royals
travelled to Fraser Valley College to
meet the winless Cascades. It was a
hard-fought game that seesawed
back and forth until the final five
minutes, when things seemed to all
go in favour of the Cascades.
Royals fell 79-70, with Caldwell
leading with 18, Denis with 14, and
Carrie Carlsen with 12 points.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Friday, Jan. 26 the Royals beat
Capilano 93-62. Ted Vanderwal

Neil McInnes credits the victories to
“a total team effort”. Nicole Hen-
