The Swift Current Comp Senior Ardens came within one win of clinching a title at their home tournament over the weekend.

Swift Current went 2-1 in their bracket-style tournament overall, opening with a resounding 70-22 victory over Moose Jaw Central Friday afternoon. 

Vanessa Clothier poured in 15 points, Danika Messer had a dozen, and Mackenzie McIntyre chipped in 11 for the win.

Into the semis Saturday afternoon, the Ardens earned a narrow 73-64 win over the Weyburn Eagles.

Again, Clothier led the way offensively, putting up a 21-point effort. Messer added an even dozen again, while Brooklyn Choo-Foo added 10.

Then, into the finals against a tough Prince Albert Carlton Crusaders squad, Swift Current couldn't duplicate the offence.

Swift fell 63-47, as Clothier dominated the play in the post for the Ardens for the third-and-final game.

She scored 13, while guards Jenna Sabine (9) and Danika Messer (8) were close to double digits.

Up next for the Senior Ardens, a tournament in Yorkton this coming weekend.
