The No. 2 Badgers from St. Catharines, Ont., took down the No. 6 Panthers 69 to 55 and will move on to the championship game Sunday. The energetic match up was extremely close through three quarters, but the Badgers began to pull away early in the fourth as the Panthers struggled to score.After learning the Badgers would face P.E.I. in the semis, fourth-year centre Keltos said Thursday she knew they had to shut down Panthers star Jenna Mae Ellsworth.Ellsworth scored 12 in the first, but was held to just five points in both the second and third, and scored nothing in the fourth. She was named UPEI player of the game.
The Badgers will play the winner of the second semifinal between the No. 1 Saskatchewan Huskies and No. 4 Laval Rouge et Or, who are both looking for a win after multiple appearances in the Final 8 in recent years.
