Redemption!

That's the only way to describe the U of R Women's Basketball win over the U of S last night in the Canada West Semi-Final by a 64-58 count.

The Cougars were schllacked by 28 points on their home court just over a month ago and were out for a little justice last night at the Final Four. The Cougars screamed out of the gate and were up by as many as 15 in the second quarter.

Talking with Head Coach Dave Taylor this morning he was pleased with the win, although he did say it got a bit sloppy at times. The Cougars turned the ball over too many times, but as he said "at this time of year the win is all that matters".

All-star Jessica Lynch lead the way for the Lady Cougars with some outstanding play on the defensive side. The fifth year forward lead the whole way for the Cougars with star centre Chelsea Cassano in foul trouble.

Tonight the Cougars are in tough against an offensively potent SFU. Coach Taylor knows that they'll need to play excellent defence and more importantly give SFU different looks on the D-side of the ball. It's not a matter of don't fix what isn't broke, because they'll continually have to switch the D to be successful.

More on the Final tomorrow.
