Dinos off to fifth-place game

OTTAWA – Reyna Crawford, Erin McIntosh, Bobbi-Jo Colburn and Liene Stalidzane all scored in double figures in Calgary's decisive 87-64 victory over Ryerson on Friday in their women's consolation semifinal game of the 2020 U SPORTS Final 8 Basketball Championships on Friday at the Ravens Nest.
 
Crawford had 19 points, seven rebounds and three assists for Calgary, with McIntosh adding 18, Stalidzane 16, and Colburn 14 as the Dinos spread out their scoring well.
Hayley Robertson scored 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in the Ryerson loss.
 
The Dinos pulled away in the third quarter after the score was tied 45-45 following a high-scoring first half.
 
"We re-channeled the group to attacking their 1-3-1 and putting an emphasis on the rebound battle," said Dinos head coach Damian Jennings of his halftime adjustments. "I'm really proud of the way we were able to maintain pace. Those two changes really opened up the game for us."
   
It was a solid performance for a Dinos squad that fell in heartbreaking fashion less than 24 hours before in the quarter-final, a 72-71 decision that ended their national title hopes. But they were able to regroup.
 
"It's easy for me to say I fully trusted my team to do that, but at the end of the day they say the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and that's what makes me super proud. That's what we asked, that's what they said they would do, and they executed it."
   
Calgary shot 52.6 percent from the field and 52.2 percent from three, compared to Ryerson's 38.3 percent shooting and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.
 
The Dinos will face the host Carleton Ravens Saturday afternoon in the consolation final, with the winner claiming fifth place at the tournament. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. MT at the Ravens Nest, live on CBCSports.ca.
