                                    McGill delivered a statement victory over UQAM with a dominant 78-49 win on the road. The visitors set the tone early, establishing a commanding 26-10 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Lily Rose Chatila was instrumental in McGill’s offensive execution, scoring 19 points on an efficient 7-for-11 shooting, including two three-pointers, and leading the team with 7 assists.
  McGill’s defense was suffocating from the start, forcing UQAM into 22 turnovers and limiting them to a 28.6% field goal percentage. The home team struggled offensively, with Marie Bethel leading the effort with 23 points, but receiving little support from her teammates. UQAM’s three-point shooting woes were evident, making only 2 of 18 attempts from beyond the arc.
  The second quarter saw McGill extend its lead, heading into halftime with a 44-21 advantage. Despite UQAM’s attempt at a second-half resurgence, McGill’s depth proved too much, with Seyna Diggs (15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals) and Emma-Jane Scotten (8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) contributing significantly.
  McGill’s superiority in rebounding was another major factor, outrebounding UQAM 55-39, led by Katerina Stoupas’ 12 boards. The fourth quarter saw a slight offensive improvement from UQAM, but the gap was too wide to overcome, securing McGill’s well-earned victory.
