Prince Edward Island kicked off festivities on day three, playing in all four brackets in the 9:00 a.m. slot, taking a 68 – 40 loss to Team Manitoba. P.E.I. got 18 point from Alexis MacInnis but Manitoba’s deeper scoring-attack and size advantage kept P.E.I. trailing from the first quarter.

JULY 26 - DAY 2 SUMMARY
15U Female - British Columbia 75 – Manitoba 33 - BOX SCORE
Manitoba found itself on the wrong end of one of day two’s largest margins of defeat, falling to a very formidable Team British Columbia, 75 – 33. While British Columbia featured a team in which every player scored within their balanced offensive attack, Manitoba struggled at times to find their rhythm, connecting on only 22% of their field goals as a team. Size was an issue as well for Team Manitoba, as British Columbia took up residency in the paint on route to a 59 to 26 rebounding advantage for the victors.
15U Male - Manitoba 83 – Alberta 79 - BOX SCORE
Manitoba rode a trio of skilled scorers to 83 – 79 win over Team Alberta. Alberta hanged in tough the entire game, even leading at times in the game’s dying minutes, but had to contend with stellar games from Daniel Sackey, Emmanuel Akot and Deng Gulak, who finished with 28, 25 and 17 points, respectively. Gulak also flashed his muscle in the paint, leading the game in rebounds as well with nine. Quebec was led by 17 points by Justin Bediako.
17U Female - Ontario 72 – Manitoba 55 - BOX SCORE
Ontario completed their winning day by besting Manitoba 72 – 55. Jordan Tully scored a game-high 18 points – including 10 points from the foul line alone – for Team Manitoba. Not to be outdone, Team Ontario’s Bridget Mulholland went a perfect 10-for-10 from the foul line, on her way to a team-high 15 points. The game became somewhat of a foul-shooting contest, with the two teams combining to shoot 63 shots from the line; Ontario’s foul-shooting accuracy of 84% proved too effective for Manitoba to readily counter to prevent the loss.
17U Male - Manitoba 76 – New Brunswick 60 - BOX SCORE
Torrez McKoy’s 23 points led the game, and his team to victory over Team New Brunswick, with Manitoba taking a 76 – 60 win on day two. New Brunswick did its part to put the team in a position to claim the top seed in Pool A, limiting turnovers and featuring a balanced offense led by 14 points from Stanley Mayambo. Unfortunately, for the upstart Maritimes team, an 18 – 7 Manitoba-advantage on the offensive glass gave the victors a considerable advantage in second-chance points – enough to handily beat New Brunswick by the game’s end.
