This year, 4 spirited teams took to the courts, playing for the NACBAIT Championship in the Liberty Division. When it all boiled down to the National Title match, it was the undefeated and top seeded Toronto CCYAA B v/s the Philly Lady Suns (2005 runners-up). In pool play, Toronto was undermanned but still managed to take a 27-25 victory over Philly as half of the TO team had been delayed on an international flight. This time around, everyone expected Toronto to roll to the title since they would now be at full strength. Toronto started off in a stupendous man to man defense that is unseen at the Liberty level. Philly responded to the suffocating defense by throwing the ball away at every opportunity. 5 minutes in, and the score was 10-0, CCYAA. Toronto was playing as well as they could possibly play, as Lydia Kwan and Jocelin On were a fabulous duo. Philly was forced to call a timeout, and regroup. The Suns returned to the game with a better sense of urgency. They quit their man defense and went to a zone on defense, and started to drive and dish to open shooters on offense. After a couple of Toronto turnovers, and easy scores for Philly, they were right back in the game. Shannon “Munchkin” Yu (4 points, 3 assists, 2 steals) and Rebecca Chin (2 points, 4 dimes, 3 rebs) were great on << previous next >> |
