OTTAWA - Helene Bibeau scored 16 points but it wasn't enough as Carleton rallied from an early 10-point deficit to defeat McGill 69-59 in women's preseason basketball, in the nation's capital Saturday.
The Martlets saw a 22-12 first quarter lead dissipate to a mere 32-31 advantage at halftime. The slide continued in the second half as Carleton led 46-41 after three quarters and outscored McGill by five points in the final stanza. McGill committed 26 turnovers compared to 17 by Carleton, which had a 13-6 advantage in steals.
McGill committed 26 turnovers compared to 17 by Carleton, which had a 13-6 advantage in steals.
Kendall MacLeod led a trio of Ravens to reach double figures in scoring, with 19 points. Alyson Bush added 18 and Darcy Hawkins had 10.
Bibeau, a 6-foot-1 sophomore from Longueuil, Que., Ìýshot 5-for-7 from the floor and went 5-for-6 from the foul line before fouling out. Teammates Marie-Eve Martin and Anneth Him-Lazarenko also reached double figures.
Martin, a sophomore from Granby, Que., tallied 15 points and grabbed five rebounds. Him-Lazarenko, a 5-foot-10 junior forward from Ste. Dorothee, Que., Ìýhad 12 points, six rebounds and three steals.
Freshman guard Roya Assadi of Vancouver, B.C., came off the bench to score nine points and a game-high 10 rebounds in 34 minutes of court time.
"I'm disappointed with the result," said McGill head coach Ryan Thorne. "We were up by 10 early and were within a couple of points with less than three minutes remaining. However, we were missing our starting point-guard (Francoise Charest) who was out with strep throat and Martin played despite similar symptoms."
The young McGill squad, which has 11 players in either their first or second year, also had to make do without guard Natalie Larocque, a transfer from Northern Michigan, who had a previous commitment to attend a wedding party in Quebec City.
McGill shot 40 per cent from the field, 40 per cent from three-point range and 65 per cent from the foul-line, while the Ravens connected on 37, 32 and 73 per cent, respectively.
McGill is 1-1 in preseason play and will now have two weeks to prepare for the Naismith Classic tourney in Ottawa, where they will play Laurier, Waterloo and Alberta.
