March 2008
NSAC hosts the 2008 CCAA Women’s Basketball Championships.

On Mar. 14-16 Bible Hill was host to several Rattlers, Timberwolves, Cheetahs among others as top varsity teams from all over the country converged at Langille Athletic Centre to go after the gold.

After three days filled with non-stop basketball action from eight of the top teams from across Canada, Montreal's CEGEP de Ste-Foy was named 2008 CCAA Women's National Basketball Champions. Halifax's MSVU Mystics battled hard in the final game, often trading leads with the Dynamiques. In the end however, the Mystics couldn't carry their two season win streak over, losing to Ste-Foy by a score of 63-52.

The home team NSAC Rams went in to each game with heart. Although they were unable to pull out a win, the experience however will undoubtedly help the returning members of the team next year. Congratulations to the Rams for making it as far as they did and fighting hard against some highly skilled teams.

The 2008 National was the third CCAA basketball championship that NSAC has hosted since 2006 and its twelfth since 1982.

Eastlink television was on hand to broadcast the bronze and gold medal games via satellite so fans all across the country could be part of the action.
