Earlier Saturday, in semifinal play, the Mountaineers topped the Fanshawe Falcons 76-62. Campbell had 18 points and seven rebounds, Taylor Dowhaniuk had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots.

Friday, Mohawk beat St. Lawrence Vikings of Kingston 70-53 in their opening match. Dowhaniuk had 15 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead the attack.

Dowhaniuk was selected tournament MVP and Campbell was named an all-star.
