Women’s final four on Friday

On Friday, the women’s semifinals got off to an exciting start.

The University of Alberta was strong out of the gate, as the Golden Pandas dominated McGill University with five wins, three in doubles and two in singles.

The Albertans relied on Alexandra Jewitt, Jessica Kreutz and Sandra Taskovic, who carried their team to Sunday’s final.
