CANADORE 95, LA CITE 71

NORTH BAY, Ont. - The Canadore Panthers men's varsity basketball team came out strong after a lost Friday night, with a 95-71 victory over the La Cite Coyotes in the Nipissing University gymnasium.

Canadore's top scorer was Tarez Hepburn with 20 points.

Canadore head coach Stacey Gallagher was happy with what he saw on the court today. "When you play as a team, you win as a team. Today, we played a complete game, pushing through every quarter, and the final outcome, obviously, was a win."

After a leaking roof in the Education Centre gymnasium forced the game to be delayed by two hours, jump ball finally took place at 7 p.m. in the Nipissing gymnasium. After the first quarter, the Panthers were down by one point and by the end of the first half, they had regained a 15-point lead over their opponents, which almost doubled to a 24-point lead to finish the game.

Canadore player of the game Christian Casimier said, "When we rebound and get out there running hard, I don't think there's really anybody that can keep up with us, and that's part of the reason why we won the game."
