The Dauphin Clippers varsity girls won their home tournament this past weekend, winning all three games.

Dauphin opened the tournament with a 68-31 victory over the Gilbert Plains/Grandview Trojans, followed by a convincing 83-46 win over the Steinbach Christian Flames.

They clinched the tournament title with a 57-21 win over the Neepawa Tigers, Saturday morning.

Clippers coach Natasha Nepinak was pleased with the team’s play throughout the tournament.

“This weekend, the team played with great energy. Everyone was stepping up and taking shots with confidence, and that’s exactly what we want to see,” she said.

As well as the Clippers played, there are still some aspects of the game they need to work on.

“We’re continuing to grow our offensive plays, learning how to create better looks and make sharp passes,” Nepinak said.

Winning their home tournament, Nepinak added, will give the team added confidence and momentum as they head into the zone playoffs, Feb. 17 in Dauphin.
