~ running, diving for loose balls Sports Spartan Victory Hamish Knox Relying on its defense to carry it through a string of nightmares, the women’s basketball team tested its game against the Trinity Western Spartans. Both teams came out with punishing defenses, TWU in a Box-and-1 to cover DC scoring leader Carrie Rogers and Douglas in its trademark man-press. The Royals, playing their first game since their loss to Camosun, hit the floor and running through their offense, which was again led by third-year guard Darcy Savage. The Royals were, however, having trouble grabbing defensive rebounds, allowing TWU to have three or four offensive chances every possession. This kept the game close, although DC did manage to open a small lead behind Jenna MacMath’s long range shooting. The Douglas bench was animated all night, chanting “Defense! Defense!” when the Spartans had the ball, energizing the Royals, who managed to force multiple turnovers with its trap defense. DC scoring leader Carrie Rogers was having an off night—for her—in the first half, when one of the Royals’ worst nightmares came true. Rogers was fouled hard from behind as she attempted a lay-up and immediately “Offence! Offence!’ crumpled to the floor, hold- ing her wrist. “She might have pulled a tendon, but we had a massage therapist look at it and she doesn’t think it's broken,” said coach Richard Williams after the game. Trinity Western, again led by their strong offensive rebounding, came out of the halftime break with a huge run, eliminating the 32-25 DC lead and tying the score 41-41. The Royals, however, were unshaken by this turn of events, going on a 14-4 run to take the game 55-45. DC used its powerful defense and the leadership of Savage to overpower the Spartans and strengthen their grip on the number one spot in the BCCAA. “We couldn't hit any shots,” said coach Williams. “I guess we won in spite of ourselves, we caused a few tumovers, but we'll be doing more shooting in practice.” Classifieds + Sport Shorts Basketball Friday, January 29 the women’s team defeated the Trinity Western Spartans 55- 45 in New West behind Carrie Rogers’ 11 and Jenna McMath’s 8 points.
