WINDSOR, Ont. - Behind a record-breaking peformance by
Sarah Gates, the McMaster Marauders women's basketball team secured a 48-46 victory over the host Windsor Lancers on Saturday afternoon.
Recording her 18th straight double-digit scoring performance of the season, the fifth-year sensation recorded 25 points in 40 minutes of action, becoming the all-time leading scorer in McMaster women's basketball history in the process. In addition to her offensive output, the Newmarket local also delivered at the defensive end with nine rebounds and one steal. The veteran guard is the leading scorer in the nation this season, averaging 26.1 PPG, four points more than her nearest competitor.
