The Portage Collegiate Saints punched their ticket to the semi-finals after a close 44-37 win over the Stonewall Rams.

Portage would come out swinging in the first half with a 29-13 lead but would let the Rams come close to stealing the victory.

Here are Head Coach Dave Mcleod's thoughts on the game.

"We like those close ones. We've played probably 10 or 12 real close ones just like that all year. We should know how to close them out, and our record in those 10 or 12 is probably pretty good, so on to the next one."

Here's who stood out to him during the game.

"All of the starters pretty much carried us in this game. everyone, all the starters especially, just contributed rebounds and scoring."

The Saints now shift their focus to their semi-final match on Wednesday hosted in Stonewall.
