The Concordia Stingers women's basketball team went undefeated in three games to win the 45th annual Waterloo Naismith Invitational Tournament last weekend.
"I'm pleased with the results but there is a lot of room for improvement,” said head coach Keith Pruden of the preseason effort.
The Stingers defeated the Waterloo Warriors 74-51 and the Cape Breton Capers 73-66 last Friday and Saturday, respectively.
In Sunday morning's final, despite some inconsistent play and a strong performance from the Northern British Columbia Timberwolves, Concordia toughed out a 66-52 win.
In what Pruden describes as “a bold bid to set the record for most three-pointers missed in a CIS tournament,” Concordia attempted 88 threes over the course of the weekend with 43 attempts in Sunday's final.
Third-year guard Kaylah Barrett was named to the tournament all-star and rookie forward Richelle Grégoire was named MVP. She averaged 17.3 points per game.
Stingers fans will have a chance to see the 2012 team on Sunday, Nov. 4 when Concordia hosts the Laurentian Voyageurs in preseason action. Tipoff is 1 p.m.
