First Period
Keyano 14 Kings 14
Huskies called for a few travels but halfway through the first they perform a beautiful two- pass outlet to the other end of the court. Huskies' Moiyan Toure has a nasty spill but has a solid opening 10 minutes with 7 points and 6 rebounds. Huskies dominating the boards 11-5.
Second Period
Keyano 33 Kings 24
Eagles' Brittany Veldman hitting some key baskets to keep her team close. Huskies' Joy "Velocity" Victor has an early highlight reel play...weaving with the dribble up the court between defenders and finishing with an acrobatic layup while also drawing the foul and making the free throw. Huskies once again controlling the glass 26-11. A bit sloppy play with teams combining for 25 turnovers (Eagles 12 Huskies 13)
Third Period
Keyano 49 Kings 43
Back-to-back two-point field goals by Huskies' Marijana Besic to start the second half.
Eagles' Hope DeBruyn with two long-distance three pointers.

Fourth Period
Keyano 56 Kings 55
Huskies' point guard Aliyah Johnson picks up her fourth foul early and heads to the bench. With injuries and foul trouble, Huskies go deep to the bench with rookie guard Clarissa Bird coming in and playing well with two points and 2 boards.
Eagles take lead with basketball by Veldman 53-52.
Two minute to go. Things starting to heat up!
Victor cuts and takes a pass from Toure to once again go sky high with acrobatic layup. Huskies lead 56-53...60 seconds remain.
