Sofia Paska drops one in again and it's a tie game, folks. Paska is having one heck of a second quarter.
And the buzzer sounds to signal the end of the second quarter. Lancers lead 38-35 in what has been a crazy first half.
The Ryerson Rams found themselves trailing by 10-plus points in the first quarter and second quarters, but battled back both times to trail by three by the end of each frame.
Sofia Paska really stepped up her game in the second quarter. She has 11 points through the first half and is a big reason the Rams still find themselves within striking distance of the No. 1 team in the country, the Windsor Lancers.
Follis and Pingue-Giles have also made their presence felt for the Rams, each scoring six and seven points respectively.
The Lancers have had a more spread out offense, with four players racking up five-plus points (Lalonde, Williams, LaRocque and Prevost).
Jahmal Jones is struggling a bit with his shooting from the field (0 for 8). However, he has hit seven of his eight free throws. He also has six of the team's seven assists and seems to be running the offence.
Kadeem Green leads the Rams with seven rebounds.
And they're back. Windsor looks to cut into the Rams' 13-point advantage as we head towards the second half in just a moment!
