The Olds Broncos are Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association women’s basketball champions.

The Broncos won 74-69 over the weekend against the host Cegep de Sainte-Foy Dynamiques to win the gold medal.

CCAA Player of the Year Brittney Thibeaux was unphased in the first quarter despite the crowd’s attempts to knock her off her game, consistently hitting free throws.

The second quarter saw Olds continue to build their lead and they went to halftime up 37-29.
