WBB | Voyageurs Down Rival Lakers on Bell Let's Talk Night

It was their first game against their northern rivals the Nipissing University Lakers this season, and it was a competitive one. Exchanging baskets for the first three quarters of the game, it was all tied up at the end of the third and the visiting Voyageurs needed to bring some energy if they wished to add another win to their season's column - and that they did. Outscoring their opponents 18-13 in the fourth, Laurentian ended the game in their favour 69-64 and with that capturing their fourth win of the season.

Typically struggling on the boards, this was a key difference in tonight's game as they outrebounded the Lakers 29-23 in a team effort.

One of the leading rebounders and the top scorer for Laurentian was first year forward Bailey Tabin who contributed 6 boards and 21 points in the match - one of her best performances of the season. Also with a notable effort was third year guard Andrea Zulich who tallied 15 points and 5 rebounds in the victory.

Top scorer for the Lakers was Marla Corney with 23 points.

The Voyageurs will look to earn another victory from the Lakers this upcoming Saturday when they are back in action on home court for their Shoot for a Cure game. Tip off is at 2pm.
