Kirsten Abo - Capilano Blues

Kirsten Abo, the fifth-year point guard led the Blues in scoring both nights and sent the game to overtime Saturday with a dramatic buzzer-beater three-pointer.

On Saturday, she scored nine of her 15 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, including the aforementioned triple as regulation time expired. In addition to her 36 points, the McNair grad had 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals.
