The two games in round 3 were nearly identical to one another. Both had nearly identical scores and followed a similar script, making us look forward to when BC-B and Alberta get to take each other on.

BC-B vs. Seattle

For the first half, this was a game of changing leads. Both teams forced turnovers, but neither could mount a lead. At the half, Seattle had built a 24-22 lead. BC-B, however, was not easily discouraged and came out refocused for the second half at a time when Seattle seemed to run out of stamina. BC-B slowly built a lead, and was up by 4 at the beginning of the fourth. Though Seattle mounted a brief comeback by creating 3 turnovers in a row, BC-B was able to rally and claim the 49-42 win.

Alberta vs. Portland

Alberta vs. Portland played out much like the BC-B vs. Seattle game. Lots of forced turnovers and see-sawing leads that kept fans on the edge of their seats. In the third, however, Alberta turned on the jets and never looked back. A series of turnovers demoralized Portland, though they showed great class playing out until the end. Alberta won 49-40.
