As The Kings University Eagles and the Red Deer Polytechnique Queens go head-to-head in the 3rd matchup of the championship weekend.

In the second quarter, however, the Eagles pick up their feet and find a lead with #15 Jordana Rivet starting the 2nd quarter with a 3-pointer.
The King's University Eagles powered past the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens in a convincing 77-52 victory. The Eagles shot 45.5% from the field compared to the Queens' 35.4%, while also hitting 50% of their three-pointers. Despite the Queens' strong free-throw shooting (81.3%), they were undone by turnovers, committing 9, which led to 9 points for the Eagles. In contrast, the Eagles turned the ball over only once.
The Eagles dominated the paint, scoring 34 points to the Queens' 16, and received a huge contribution from their bench, outscoring the Queens' reserves 22-3. Despite the rebounding battle being nearly even, with the Eagles grabbing 31 boards to the Queens' 29, the Eagles' superior ball movement and defensive pressure (9 steals to the Queens' 5) kept them in control throughout the game.
The Eagles' well-rounded performance, particularly in second-chance points (7-4) and points off turnovers, sealed the dominant win.
