ETOBICOKE, Ont. - Durham's season came to an end in women's basketball on Saturday night with a 76-31 loss to the Humber Hawks in an OCAA Championship qualifier.

The Lords came out with strong energy in the opening quarter and stayed right with the hosts early. After trading baskets through the first several minutes, Durham built a small lead late in the frame and led 11-10 after the first 10 minutes.

The Hawks extended the gap in the third quarter with another strong stretch, while the Lords struggled to find consistency at the offensive end.
