Warriors Report from Curtis Dauber: A battle of two teams each looking for their second win of the season was under way tonight as York travelled to Waterloo to take on the Warriors. The first half was close as York was able to shoot over 50% from the field. However, Waterloo was able to really push the tempo and a 3 point basket by big man Sinclair Brown gave Waterloo a 3 point lead going into the half. The Warriors started the second half on fire, holding York without a point for the first 5 minutes. In total they outscored York by a score of 27-11 in the quarter highlighted by the down right ridiculous shooting of rookie Cam McIntyre. Cam scored from deep, from pull ups, drives, post ups - York had no answer for Cam. Cam ended the day with 37 points, the second most ever for a Warrior rookie in league play behind former All Canadian Sean Van Koughnett. Cam shot 13-20 which included going 7-10 from 3. However Cam wasn't the only star for Waterloo. Veteran point guard Dave Burnett really set the tempo for the game finishing with 12 points and 7 assists. Included in those points were a "killer cross" which actually knocked Yorks Jason Holt to the ground and out of the game as he twisted his knee trying to deal with Burnett. For the game Waterloo shot 41% as did York. Waterloo hit 11 3's and York 9. The biggest difference was in Waterloo having 14 more shots throughout the course of the game. Next up for the Warriors of Waterloo is the last game of the OUA interlock against Laurentian.
