Red Deer, November 3, 2023 - The Red Deer Polytechnic Queens nearly scored 100 points on their way to defeating the Northwestern Polytechnic Wolves in ACAC Friday night basketball action.

It was a low-scoring first five minutes to open up this match-up with the Queens just scoring seven while holding the Wolves to zero points. Centre Paige Snyder (Open Studies) finally would end her team's scoreless drought as she drained back-to-back free throws. At the end of the quarter, the Queens found themselves up 23-6.

RDP continued their strong defensive ways as they held Northwestern off the scoresheet for the first three minutes of the second quarter. But that changed after the Queens allowed guard Makayla Porteous an open look at a three-point attempt that she drained. At this moment, the Queens still had a 33-9 lead as they opened the quarter going on an 8-0 run. At the half, RDP led the Wolves 46-12. Porteous had half of her teams as she went two-for-five from deep. The Queens point leader after the second was forward Jayden Demchuk (Practical Nursing Diploma) who had 13 along with eight rebounds.

Like the first half, the Queens would hold the Wolves scoreless for the first few minutes of the quarter but it was not for a lack of trying as Northwestern had multiple opportunities in the paint but could not get the ball to fall. The Queens would take a 62-23 lead into the fourth.

RDP would open the final 10 minutes with back-to-back threes from Demchuk and guard Heena Sidhu (Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Arts) on their way to helping the Queens defeat the Wolves 91-32.

The players of the game were awarded to Wolves Raylene Badger (Bachelor of Kinesiology) and Queens Jayden Demchuk. Badger had five points and eight rebounds while Demchuk finished with a double-double.

The Queens will be back in action tomorrow night when they welcome the NAIT Ooks while the Wolves head to Olds to take on the Broncos. Both games will start at 6 pm.

Players of the game: Raylende Badger (Wolves) and Jayden Demchuk (Queens)
