D10: Top Three Seeds Advance Through in Junior and Senior

The "top three" seeds in both the junior and senior D10 leagues had no trouble moving on to Thursday's semifinals --- in fact, all 6 games weren't really close with the closest margin of victory being (#3) Bishop Mac's 19 point win over #6 JF Ross in the junior division.

Here's how things shook down, starting in senior:

Senior

Top-seeded Centre Wellington received 21 points from Jaime Janssen and 16 more from Erica McFadden en route to a 60-21 win over #8 Orangeville, a win that also qualifies them for "AAAA" CWOSSA.  Claire Fenton and Becca Matheson had 5 each for the Bears.

JF Ross will be the other "AAAA" representative from the D10 after handling #6 Guelph CVI 52-31.  Back at (seemingly) 100%, Sydney Resch had a great game with 18 points while Julia Robertson had 9.  Hanna Chidwich had 10 and Sidney Vaughan 8 for the Gaels.

The "AA" spot, meanwhile is still up for grabs as both Lourdes and Bishop Mac pulled wins on Tuesday.  Lourdes snuck past #4 St. James 45-43, backed by a balanced scoring effort (Victoria Brombal 9, Hannah Pearsall 8).  Ashley Benham poured in 20 for the Lions, while Brittany Gazzola added 12.

In the other quarterfinal game on Tuesday, Tesha Kraszkiewicz poured in 22 points and Andrea Priamo added 12 more as the #2 Bishop Mac Celtics rolled #7 Centennial 59-28.  Kendra Achonwa had 9 and Hannah Ferguson 8 for the Spartans.
