Gaiters Move to 3-0 With Win Over Laval

Friday vs. Laval

BU       19    17    23    21  -  80
UL       26     8     14    21  -  69

As expected this was a closely contested game. Laval came out attacking well on offense and put up a bigger number than we are comfortable with in the first quarter. We are not good enough offensively

Majid Naji

to give up too many 26 point quarters and expect to win games. Anyhow, our guys did a much better job in the 2nd quarter holding them to 8.

In the 3rd quarter we put together a nice run that had us up by 12 points late in the quarter. Unfortunately we had a bit of let up for the first few minutes of the 4th where Laval was able to take a 2 point lead. As was the case in the the 1st quarter our defense was shoddy and Laval took advantage of that. To our guys credit, they remained poised and we went on an 8-0 run to answer Laval after they took the lead. From there we were pretty solid defensively and we ran disciplined offense. We shot 47% from the floor, but on 4-25 from the 3 point line which is not quite what we would expect. Despite that, we finished the game with 9 turnovers and moved the ball pretty well at times on offense.

Captain Scott Ring

Jona led us in scoring with 21 points. Majid came off the bench to score some key hoops in the 2nd half as he added 13 points. Our captains, Matt and Scott were both excellent in all phases of the game with each scoring 11 points.

Next game is this Thursday at McGill where the RSEQ's only undefeated teams face off in the final game of the semester. McGill should be ranked #6 in the CIS this week and it will be a terrific game. Hope to see you there! Game time is 8 pm.
I will keep you posted!
