Box Score<\/a> OSHAWA, Ont. — The Winnipeg Wesmen had one of Quebec’s top teams on the ropes, but couldn’t maintain their level of play after halftime.<\/p>\n The Laval Rouge et Or hit nine threes after halftime and used a third-quarter run to jump ahead in an 81-66 non-conference win over the Wesmen women’s basketball team Saturday afternoon at Durham College.\u00a0<\/p>\n Laval hit nearly 50 per cent from three after halftime as the Wesmen fell to 1-1 in their pre-season trip to Ontario.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the Wesmen were very much in the mix well into the game before the Rouge et Or went off on a 9-0 late in the third quarter that broke a 40-40 tie. The Wesmen battled back to within two and trailed 55-53 with 8:29 left when Laval scored six straight and mustered a 14-5 run to push its advantage into double-digits.<\/p>\n Winnipeg got 26 points from its bench in falling to 1-1 in its three-game trip to Ontario. The Wesmen will face the Toronto Varsity Blues in their final game before returning home, Sunday at 12 p.m. Central.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jennifer Kallon<\/a> had 16 points and eight rebounds to lead the Wesmen. Freshman Ella Castres<\/a> was great off the bench, scoring a career-high 13 points with 3-for-4 from three and five rebounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jazmin Birch<\/a> scored 12 points and Mattea Teece<\/a> added eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Rouge et Or were led by Emmanuelle Laurent’s 26 points. She made five of seven from three.<\/p>\n Laval made just 3 of 12 from three in the first half but hit on nine of their 20 threes in the second half, including 6 of 10 in the fourth quarter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
