Lakehead defeats UNB 80-62; here is the game report from Lakehead SID... The Lakehead Thunderwolves started off their east coast swing with a convincing 80-62 win over the host squad UNB Varsity Reds. Lakehead won the first three quarters before splitting the final frame to close-out an at-times sloppy contest.  The Thunderwolves bench carried the scoring load with Brendan King and Cam Hornby each notching 15 points off the bench on 8-13 combined shooting performance from 3pt land. Hornby was named "Player of the Game" and joined King as the only Thunderwolves in double figures.  Yoosrie Salhia chipped in with 9 points, 8 rebounds. Venzal Russell led the team with 10 rebounds and added 7 points including a 3pt shot to open the 2nd half when UNB went to a possession of 2-3 Zone defence.  Key team stats included Lakehead holding a 42-28 advantage on the boards (11-8 O boards) and shooting 16-39 from 3pt land to UNB's 2-9.  Tomorrow Lakehead tips-off against University of Cape Breton Capers in a rematch of last March's CIS consolation game in Ottawa.

The Gaiter's Oraine Green (Toronto, Ont.) had 11 first half points, finishing the game with a team-high 21 points. Chris East (Toronto, Ont.) finished the game with a game-high 14 rebounds for Bishop's.  The lead changed hands multiple times down the stretch until Queen's, down 63-60 with 41 seconds left, got a desperation 3 by Timothy Boyle (Belleville, Ont.) over the arms of a Gaiter's defender, eventually forcing an overtime period. Boyle finished with nine points and team-high four steals.  The overtime period had the Gaels in control of both the pace and the game, building a lead as big as eight. Dan Bannister (Newmarket, Ont.) scored five of the Gaels' 12 points in the extra frame. Bannister finished with 21 points and seven rebounds, playing a team high 41 minutes...
