Their first game is Feb. 28 against the University of Alberta. The Stingers huddled around a TV set to watch the Canadian women’s team win gold at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City last week. Four ex-Stingers played in the game: Thérèse Brisson and Caroline Ouellette for Canada, Cammi Granato and Karyn Bye for the United States. The psyched-up 2001-2002 version of the Stingers made the Nationals by disposing of the plucky McGill Martlets in two straight games last week. Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux scored just 34 seconds into overtime of game two to give Concordia a 3-2 and a sweep of the series. The Stingers are ranked third in Canada, while McGill was ranked sixth. Stingers, Martlets hoop it up The Concordia Stingers and McGill Martlets played a conference sudden-death semifinal basketball game last night, Feb. 27, to decide who will play Laval in the provincial final. The Stingers ended the season with a 69-65 loss to Laval in Ste. Foy last Sunday. Kristina Steinfort scored 13 points for Concordia. The previous day, the Stingers used Steinfort’s 17 points to beat Bishop’s 62-49. The Stingers finished the regular season in second place with a 9-6 record. Meanwhile, the men’s basketball squad ended its worst season ever by losing 79-70 to Laval last weekend. Concordia finished in last place out of the playoffs and won only two of 15 regular season games. |
