Still undefeated and now champions.
The LCCVI Lancers defeated Erie Migration 40-28 to claim the ‘AA’ SWOSSAA title Thursday putting a cap on the team’s perfect season.
Nadia Alfadili was LCCVI’s high scorer with 18 points on the night. Danni-Lynn Minten had nine including a three-pointer in the fourth quarter.
Including the SWOSSAA title game – the final game in the junior season – the Lancers were 12-0 this year.
“The girls won because they worked incredibly hard for each other, always kept a positive attitude, and never gave up,” said coaches Sara Krawetz and Jamilee Helps.
“Our senior players were instrumental this season, showing great leadership and stepping up when needed. The girls really enjoyed playing together, and this camaraderie contributed to their success. We couldn’t be prouder of this team.”
