Hikers edge Old Fort in women’s hockey league

Woodpecker Hikers edged Old Fort 1-0 when the Woodpecker Products women’s first division hockey league continued Saturday at the St. Stanislaus College ground, Carifesta Avenue.

Firm favourites, Hikers were held by a determined and dogged Old Fort unit for the majority of the contest. However, Latacia Chung proved to be the difference netting in the dying minutes of the first period.

Receiving the ball from the right side at the top of the shooting arc, Chung battled past the final Old Fort defender before lashing her past the advancing goalkeeper into the right corner of the net.

The event resumes today with Hikers battling tourney favourite Pizza Hut Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and Old Fort engaging Spartans at the GCC ground, Bourda.

DeMar DeRozan shook off his dismal Game Three performance and scored 33 points as Toronto evened their Eastern Conference first-round series with Milwaukee at two wins apiece. DeRozan missed all eight of his field goal attempts and scored just eight points in Toronto’s 27-point Game Three loss but scored 21 points in the first half on Saturday and made 12-of-22 shots. The series continues Monday in Toronto with Game Six set for Thursday in Milwaukee. Marc Gasol’s floating jump shot over LaMarcus Aldridge with 0.7 seconds left in overtime gave the Memphis Grizzlies a 110-108 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday at FedExForum to even their first-round Western Conference playoff series 2-2. Memphis won despite a playoff career-high 43 points for San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard. Mike Conley led the Grizzlies with 35 points and had nine rebounds and eight assists. Leonard added eight rebounds, six steals and three assists to his stat line. Paul Millsap had 29 points and 14 rebounds for his second straight double-double and Atlanta led wire-to-wire in beating Washington in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. Millsap was 12 of 20 from the field and had five assists. His only problem was at the line, where he was 5 of 9. The Hawks, who trail in the series 2-1, also got 27 points from Dennis Schroder, 20 of those in the first half, with nine assists.
