DAWSON WOMEN WIN GOLD

Defense wins championships, and the Dawson Lady Blues are provincial champions.

The Blues rode a balanced attack and devastating defence to a 76-69 victory over Sainte-Foy at the CEGEP AAA championships at Ahuntsic.

The decisive stat in the game was not scoring, but steals. Dawson had a whopping 28 steals off of 39 Sainte-Foy turnovers.

Dawson goes to the nationals and Sainte-Foy has to wait and see if they'll get into the National Championships as a wild card.

A raucous scene at Ahuntsic.
