The Camosun Chargers women’s basketball team is going to the B.C. College’s Athletic Association playoffs.
Both the Chargers men’s and women’s basketball teams swept the visiting Langara Falcons at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence gym.
The Chargers women swept the Langara Falcons 73–55 on Friday and 68–57 on Saturday, clinching a spot in the BCCAA playoffs.
Camosun’s dynamic duo of Aija Salvador and Chelsea McMullen were dominant again. Salvador continued her oustanding rookie campaign with 26 points on Saturday, McMullen with 27 points on Friday.
Columbia Bible College hosts the BCCAA provincial championships, Mar. 3-5.
Boy’s come alive
The hard working Chargers men’s team defeated Langara 74-60 on Friday before winning in double overtime on Saturday, 104-101.
A win against the province’s top seed Vancouver Island Mariners this weekend would greatly help the Chargers’ (8-9) chances at a spot in the provincials. Douglas College and Langara are chasing the Chargers. Both are one win back but can pass the Chargers as each have an extra game yet to play.
