Alberta, the tournaments second seed, earned a berth in Sundays final against the top-ranked Carleton Ravens. Alberta is looking for its fourth national title and first since 2002. Golden Bears coach Greg Francis praised Ferguson for his calm under pressure. "Hes been an incredible leader all year and hes been saving the best for last," said Francis. "He takes care of every huddle, he makes every play that we need and he leads these guys. Ferguson also had six rebounds and said Albertas ability to match the physical play of St. FX was a key at both ends of the floor. "We kept going hard. We felt like we were bigger than them and stronger than them and over 40 minutes we didnt think they could keep that up," said Ferguson. Jordan Baker scored 20 points and added nine rebounds and seven assists for the Golden Bears. Terry Thomas led No. 6 St. FX with 22 points and 10 rebounds. But the forward, who scored 39 points in a quarter-final win against Concordia, was held to 12 points after the first quarter. "(Thomas) is a good player and hes sneaky," said Ferguson. "If hes not scoring the ball hes getting the offensive rebound. "We just talked about communicating the whole game and knowing where guys were, whether it was Terry or anyone else who was a threat." Alberta overcame a strong start by St. FX and built a 43-38 lead by halftime, led by Fergusons 16 points. The X-Men took the lead briefly in the third quarter but could nott maintain it.dddddddddddd Alberta led by seven heading into the final 10 minutes. Consecutive three-pointers by Alberta forward Sahr Safa made it 76-66 with five minutes remaining and the Golden Bears were able to hold off St. FX the rest of the way. Safa finished with 18 points. "I thought Sahr stepped up in the third quarter and made some space and made some shots for us," said Francis. In the early semifinal, top-seeded Carleton defeated the No. 5 Fraser Valley Cascades 83-65. Brothers Philip Scrubb (18 points) and Thomas Scrubb (16 points) of Richmond, B.C., led the defending champion Ravens.

Joel Friesen of Abbotsford, B.C., had 13 points to lead the Cascades and Kyle Grewal of Surrey, B.C., contributed 11 points. "The defence kept us in the game," said Carleton coach Dave Smart. "We did a decent job defensively in keeping them off balance and gave ourselves a chance to stay in the game when we were struggling offensively." St. FX and Fraser Valley will play for the bronze medal Sunday afternoon. "Its a very tough game to get up for because you dont come here to play for third place, you come to play for a championship," said X-Men coach Steve Konchalski. "Were going to have to muster up what we can and finish the season on the positive note."
