Coyotes Make History
It's the OC Coyotes first playoff victory and move onto the semis
The Okanagan Coyotes record their first ever playoff win with a 79-64 victory over the Langara Falcons on Thursday at the PACWEST basketball championship.
The score was tied at the half 36-36 before the Coyotes started to pull away in the third quarter and held on for the victory. Devon Felt was the Coyotes leading scorer with 15 points and Soleil Wilding chipped in with 14.
Coming into the tournament the sixth seeded Falcons had lost three straight to the Coyotes but played them tough on Thursday. The game was delayed after an injury to Falcons’ guard Rachel Labrador who suffered an ankle injury and was taken to a local hospital.
The Coyotes move onto the semi-final to meet the #2 Capilano Blues in Friday’s semi-final.
