(FREDERICTON, NB) Ja'Yon Leak (Charlotte, NC) scored 19 points and pulled down eight rebounds to lead the UNB Reds in a 63-60 win over the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday.

The win was the second in as many nights for UNB, and puts them in Sunday's title game of the Helen Campbell Memorial Tournament, where they'll face the Carleton Ravens.

Leak was 6-of-18 from the field and a perfect 7-for-7 from the foul line in her second game as a Red.

Eva Tumwine (Fredericton, NB) added 18 points and seven rebounds.

Claire LaMarre (Belle River, ON) scored a game-high 21 points for the Warriors, who are now 0-2 at the Campbell Tournament.

Waterloo faces the Saint Mary's Huskies, also 0-2, in Sunday's third place game.

Earlier on Saturday, the Ravens beat the Huskies 55-52.
