Trinity Western 89, Alberta 78  6'6" Jacob Doerksen had 25 points before fouling out and the Spartans swept the showdown weekend series in Langley.  Just like Friday night, the Bears were solidily in the game through three quarters, getting the lead to one on numerous occasions but never being able to regain the lead after TWU took it for good on a jumper by 6'1" Tristain Smith early in the second quarter gave the Spartans a 23-22 lead.  Alberta had forged their largest lead at 22-18 on the heels of an 11-1 run led by 6'4" Daniel Ferguson, who led all scorers with 27 points including 4-10 3's.  Alberta made their final run to within 1 midway through the third quarter after 6'7" Kyle Coston picked up his 3rd and 4th fouls within 1 minute.  Coston played only 15 minutes before fouling out.  Still, 6'6" Tyrell Mara was solid and his dunk early in teh fourth quarter gave Trinity their largest lead at 73-64 to that point.  TWU extended to leads as large as 11 and closed out the Bears comfortably in the fourth.  6'0" fifth-year guard C.G. Morrison returned to the starting lineup in place of 6'4" Todd Bergen-Henengouwen for Alberta and went 4 for 5 from downtown, part of his 18 point effort while Bears standout wing 6'8" Jordan Baker was held in check offensively with only 9 points and 8 defensive rebounds.  TWU got a lift off the bench from backup pg Daniel Horner, who hit 3 3's, part of his 11 point effort while sharing time at the point with Smith, who had a tidy line of 9 points, 6 assists as against only 1 turnover in 23 minutes.  Box Score

Lethbridge 85, Thompson Rivers 81 Both teams shortened their bench dramatically and the Horns got a tremendous performance from 6'5" Randy Davis with 28 points including 4-9 3's while 7'2" Greg Stewart had by far his most dominant effort with 29 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks.  The WolfPack's hot outside shooting, such a big part of their only win of the season last weekend in Manitoba, was less effective as they went only 8 for 27 from downtown.  Box Score
