Alberta women’s lacrosse team advances to Canada Summer Games semifinals

Alberta’s women’s lacrosse team is one win away from a berth in the gold medal final at the Canada Summer Games in St. John's, NL.

The team dominated Manitoba 8-1 yesterday, showing a mix of speed, skill, and precision that left their opponents struggling to keep up. The win secures Alberta a spot in the semifinals, where they will face Ontario today. The winner of that matchup moves on to the gold medal game.

Alberta fell 5-3 to Ontario in the preliminary round and is looking for redemption.

Cochrane’s Reese McKay has been a key player for Alberta, standing tall in net and making crucial saves that helped keep Manitoba off the scoreboard.

In the other semifinal, B.C., the only undefeated team in the tournament, and Nova Scotia will face off for a spot in the final.

Alberta’s coach praised the team’s strong defensive play and opportunistic scoring, saying the squad has been building momentum since the start of the tournament. Fans are hoping the team’s energy and focus can carry them all the way to the podium.
