Gaiters Topped by Hawks

Friday vs. Wilfred Laurier

BU         24    20    23    24  -  92
WLU     19    26    31    30  -  106

The irony starts with the fact that I was worried that we would have trouble scoring this year based on early scrimmages & NCAA games. We were not great defensively last season, but at least average. Suffice to say, we have more work to do on the defensive end.  This is also magnified all the more by the fact we as with most teams are playing at a greater pace this year.

Alex, 22 points, 5 assists

From a fan's perspective it would have been a fun game to watch. It was uptempo and lots of offense from both teams. We shot at least 50% from the floor in each quarter with the exception of the 3rd quarter. Laurier shot 67% that quarter and that put them up 9 heading into the 4th. We were playing with a very short bench due to some injuries and we did not have enough to cut into that lead significantly. Our guys did play hard and did compete.


Alex Boisse had a career high with 22 points, but really was not quite himself. Feeling the effects of the flu along with the fact that he was playing extended minutes due injuries. Abdul also had 22 points with 20 coming in the 2nd half. Dave Belanger had an efficient 20 points on 11 shots and has been playing like a 5th year senior should. He has been consistent and very solid in all respects.

Looking ahead, we have an exhibition game on Saturday at Mount Allison. We will travel with our football team on their chartered flight as they travel to St. FX. We will land in Nova Scotia & then drive a couple of hours to Sackville, NB to play the Mounties. Game time is 2 pm AST.

I will send the update out on that game next Monday!
