In the final night of PACWEST league play, the CapU Blues (15-6) women's basketball team hosted the Douglas College Royals (18-3) at the Sportsplex.

The Royals, who were without star forward Nanaya Miki, jumped out to an early 12-6 lead over the Blues to wrap up the first quarter.

Royals' forwards, Ellen Fallis and Rachel Beauchamp converted some huge scoring plays early in the fourth to extend the Royals' lead to 43-31. The Blues matched it with their own 11-2 run to bring the game to 45-42 with just under four minutes to play in the game. After gutsy back-to-back charges by the Royals in the last two minutes of the game, the Royals held on for a 53-50 victory.
