STORM Get Ready For Deciding Game Tuesday at Credit Union Place

Date:  Source: DISABLED NBL: Summerside Storm

(Summerside, PE) It all comes down to one game to move on to the NBL Finals when the Summerside STORM host the Windsor Express Tuesday night at Credit Union Place at 7 pm. It's "STORM White-Out Night" as STORM Fans are encouraged to wear white shirts in support of a trip to the Finals.

 

This NBL semi-final has seen blow-outs along with a game for the ages as the STORM have won two games in the series going away while the Express have won two close games, one a double overtime thriller they will be talking about in future years. Each team has also won on the others court so nothing is a given Tuesday night. There is also some bad blood brewing between the two teams as game four in Windsor on Saturday night ended in a lot of pushing and shoving and some very heated words. These two teams don't like each other very much so there will be a great amount of intensity to the deciding game.

 

The STORM will also honour Anna Pendergast-Stammberger, the Kensington native and PEI Sports Hall of Fame member who currently coaches the Dalhousie University Women's Basketball Program in Halifax. The best four seats in the house during STORM games, two between the STORM bench and scorers table and two between the visitors bench and scorers table, were named earlier in the year "Anna Seats" in honour of Pendergast-Stammberger, Prince Edward Islands first female Olympian and 11 year member of Canada's National Women's Basketball Program. The STORM will dedicate the seats Tuesday night with the two time CIS All-Canadian and former Dalhousie Female Athlete of the Year in attendance along with members of her family. Anna will also perform the ceremonial opening tip.
