SAULT 75, ST. CLAIR 67

WINDSOR, Ont. - The St. Clair men's basketball team suffered a 75-67 setback to Sault College (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) Saturday night at the SportsPlex.

Sault shot the ball well staking itself to an early 21-17 advantage after the first quarter and then played even in the second quarter to lead the Saints 39-35 at the break. Sault shot 62.5 per cent from three-point land and 53.6 per cent from the field in the opening half.

The Saints put on the defensive clamp in the third quarter holding Sault to just 12 points and used a 13-5 run late in the frame entering the fourth quarter with a slim 52-51 lead.
