Yoosrie Salhis had 12 points 6 rebounds in a strong second half effort after foul trouble limited his first half minutes. Lakehead coach Scott Morrison was "really proud of how the guy bsattled and stuck to our gameplan this weekend. Neither game was neccessarily our best effort but we were able to dig in on the defensive end both nights and play tough down the stretch to come out with two good 'team' wins. We are looking forward to preparing for a strong Queen's team to open OUA play next week."
