LIONS LOSE TO LAKEHEAD IN FRONT HALF OF WEEKEND SET

It was a one-point game after one, but from there it was all Lakehead, as the Thunderwolves rode to a 102-79 victory over the York University Lions men's basketball team Friday night at the Tait McKenzie Centre.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • It was a back-and-forth battle early, with both squads playing well offensively. There was little separation between the two teams after one, as it was 23-22 in favour of the visitors.
  • The Thunderwolves got off to the second quarter on the right foot,going on an 11-2 run in the first three minutes of the frame, which forced an early Lions timeout. Despite being down 16 points with 2:21 remaining in the quarter, the Lions managed to trim the deficit to 52-40 at halftime.
  • The Thunderwolves continued their hot hand into the third frame,outscoring York 23-13 in the quarter to cushion an 80-63 edge. Prince Kamunga and Somto Dimanochie combined for 18 of the team's 23 third-quarter points.
  • The visitors put up 22 more in the fourth on their way to a 102-79 victory over the Lions. 

LOOKING AHEAD:

The Lions will look to bounce back when they host the Thunderwolves for the second half of the back-to-back doubleheader on Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Tait McKenzie Centre. The tip-off is scheduled for 8 pm.
