Day 2 (April 4) at the All Native Basketball Tournament (ANBT) in Prince Rupert saw all four divisions in action and the first elimination of the week.
In the Women鈥檚 Division on the elimination side of the division, the Skidegate Saints lost their second game of the tournament to the Lax Kw鈥檃laams Ladies on Monday evening.
It was a tight game with the Saints holding a marginal lead throughout the game. At the end of the third quarter Skidegate was up 54-47.
The fourth quarter would belong to the Lax Kw鈥檃laams, however. The Ladies clawed their way back to finally take their first lead of the game in the waning moments 64-63. The Saints briefly took back a one-point advantage, but a last-minute basket put Lax Kw鈥檃laams over the top for the top for the 65-64 win.
Skidegate was previously relegated to the elimination bracket on Sunday by Gitwinksihlkw 66-37 while Lax Kw鈥檃laams got there via a loss to Greenville 47-67.
