Gaiters Hang on to Defeat Yellow Jackets

BU      13   20   29   13  -  75
AIC    23   20   16   13  -  72

3rd year point guard Scott Ring

AIC had played in Montreal last night losing on the buzzer to McGill who many have picked to be the only team that can challenge Concordia in Quebec this year. We knew  we would have our hands full. After a slow start we really hit our stride in the 3rd quarter turning a 10 point deficit into a 3 point lead. Did a much better job guarding the dribble in the 2nd half containing AIC's quick backcourt.

3rd year post Mike Andrews

We build a 10 point lead in the final 3 minutes, but just about squandered that! Fortunately we hung on for the victory. After sitting most of  the first half  with foul trouble, Jeremy Leonard-Smith sparked us with a strong second half scoring 16 points and playing some solid defense. Onnex Blackwood hit some timely shots and kept us in it in the 1st half. Onnex had 16 points and 7 rebounds for the game. Big Mike was a factor and continues to get better each game as he added 12 points and 11 key rebounds...many of which came down the stretch. Scott Ring & rookie Jona Bermillo combined to give us a solid 40 minutes at the point guard position.

Next  up is Trinity Western on Wednesday here at BU. Keep you posted!
