OSHAWA, Ont. – In a crucial game as conference play winds down, the Durham College women's basketball team had a positive team effort as they knocked off the Seneca Sting 64-57 on Tuesday night.
Seneca relied on Taylor Allicock's offence to carry the team as she had nearly half of her team's scoring with 26 points.
The Lords, on the other hand, had three players in double-digit scoring – their leader only having 13 in the game.
With the victory Durham College is now tied with George Brown for second in the OCAA east region, although the Huskies have a game in hand. The Lords are four points back of the first-place Algonquin Thunder, but can possibly make a move up the standings as their final conference games are against both the Thunder and Huskies.
Unfortunately for the Lords, the Huskies have a game remaining against the 3-11 Georgian Grizzlies, which has the probability of keeping George Brown out of the Lords reach in the standings.
Durham's next game is Sunday, Feb. 10 at George Brown before returning home on Sunday, Feb. 17 to host the Algonquin Thunder in their final conference game.
