X-Women win Thriller

The StFX X-Women won a thriller against Saint Mary's University Sunday afternoon 65-57. The X-Women grinded out a hard-fought win. Kirsten Jones led the way with 21 points.

Both teams displayed tough defense Sunday afternoon which was to be expected from the tip. Camesha McKenzie, a fifth year senior from Ontario, was the defensive spark of the game as her pressure in the final quarter really turned things in X's favor.

With six minutes to go in the fourth Tory Anderson from Antigonish drilled a long three to put the X-Women up by three and ultimately sealed the lead for the blue and white.

Coming off a 43 point performance on Thursday night against Acadia, Saint Mary's second year guard Justine Colley was held to just 17 points on 7-16 shooting.

This was a big win for the X-Women as Saint Mary’s knocked off the Acadia Axewomen earlier in the week. The Axewomen currently sit in 10th place in the CIS rankings.

The X-Women next see play November 20th at 6:00 pm when they take on the Dalhousie Tigers at home.
