The Miramichi Her-Icanes finished their second-ever Maritime Women’s Basketball Association season with an 8-2 record.
That came following a 91-55 win over visiting Port City Fog of Saint John during a Sunday matinee in the Port City.
The Her-Icanes finished tied with Lake City 56ers of Dartmouth/Cole Harbour with identical 8-2 marks. Lake City earned the regular season pennant by virtue of a victory over Miramichi in the first game of the season.
Both teams will clash again in PRO•LINE Legacy Cup playoffs. That sudden-death semifinal is scheduled to be played Saturday at Miramichi Valley High School.
Final details will be announced soon.
The winner moves directly to the PRO•LINE Legacy Cup final in Fredericton, June 21-22. That team will join the survivor of the Fredericton Freeze-Moncton Mystics playoff game, scheduled for next Sunday night in the New Brunswick capital.
The two New Brunswick teams will join two Nova Scotia teams in Fredericton.
The Bluenose Province playoffs open next Thursday night when Lake City hosts the Hornets. The winner goes directly to the league final. Losing team faces Halifax Thunder in a sudden-death game to send a second Nova Scotia team to the final four.
