4th Seed Battles Back to Win Women’s B League Championship

Ruth Peters’ team entered the Women’s B League playoffs as the fourth and final seed, but they proved that playoff seeding doesn’t determine how a season will end!

Out of eight teams in the league, the top four advanced to the double-elimination playoffs:

1. Colette Swanson

2. Hamyanie Johnson

3. Jonie Jenkins

4. Ruth Peters

Throughout the regular season, Ruth’s team struggled to get wins against the top three teams. But when the playoffs began, they came ready to compete.

They played Colette their first playoff game and lost. Then they battled their way through the bracket, defeating both Jonie’s and Hamyanie’s teams and earning the opportunity to face the league’s top-seeded team AGAIN, captained by Colette Swanson.

To claim the championship, Ruth’s team had their biggest challenge yet: they had to defeat the Colette twice.

And they did!

After entering the playoffs as the fourth seed, Ruth Peters and her team completed an incredible postseason run securing the Women’s B League Championship!

Congratulations to Ruth’s team on an amazing comeback and championship win!
