The Conestoga Condor’s women’s basketball team played their fourth game of the regular season against the Redeemer University Royals last Wednesday. Head Coach Dee Channer says this year’s team is young, made up of as many as 10 first years and only two returning players.
The Condors overcame an 11 point deficit at half to beat St. Clair in overtime. Terell Lloyd and Ladera Ujullu-Obang combined for 83 points on the night.
The Conestoga Condors team fell just short to the Niagara Knights on Nov. 16, 2022 from a last second buzzer beater. Final score 87-85.
On Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020, the OCAA officially announced the cancellation of varsity sports and recreation activities for the winter semester.
Players across Ontario know Wesley Lau for his hits, kills and points. Among his Condor teammates, he’s also a respected and modest leader.
Conestoga’s back-to-back weekend wins gave credence to their head coach’s notion that the players have “bought into being a team.”
Despite the losses, both the men’s and women’s teams are intent on the learning the lessons they’ll need to apply to the new OCAA season next year.
The Mohawk Mountaineers beat Conestoga 99-82 at the Rec Centre on Jan. 12.
Better passing and a more forceful attack are the keys to picking up the Condors’ game, said head coach Wayne Harris.
Conestoga’s women went to five sets, ultimately losing their contest, while the men took straight sets for the win.
Despite an 0-7 start, players and coaches believe the young team has the drive, skill and determination to make the OCAA playoffs.
The team must now prepare for the second half of a two-game weekend at home, this time against Cambrian.
Condors coach Wayne Harris hopes to implement the same game plan as the team takes on Cambrian Nov. 11.
Coach Haiqu-Liu describes the skills of this year’s squad as being ‘light years ahead’ of where the team was last year.
