CAPERS top the Axemen in final home game
Sydney, NS – The CBU CAPERS defeated the Acadia Axemen in Atlantic University Sport men's basketball action on Saturday, February 14, at the Sullivan Fieldhouse.
This matchup was the last home game at CBU for the CAPERS before they head to the AUS Championships next weekend.
The CAPERS got off to a slow start but quickly turned it around to move ahead of the Axemen by 2 just before the end of the first. The CAPERS came out strong in the second quarter with some highlight reel dunks from Stefan Anisko and Liai Tong as well as some some solid shooting to pull ahead of Acadia by 15. Acadia reacted with some strong defence and offence of their own. The teams headed to the locker room with the CAPERS ahead 45-35.
The third quarter had back and forth action going up by 15 points seven minutes into the quarter. Acadia responded with a run to bring the score to 52-61 with one quarter to go. Acadia battled hard to get the score within 10 but the CAPERS went on a run in the fourth and took the win 87-68.
Kyle Munro notched 14 points while Robbie Grant added 12 and Gabe Davington with 11.
Stefan Anisko, the Subways of CBRM Player of the Game, posted a double-double with a whopping 40 points and 11 rebounds. Liai Tong followed up with 17 points and 8 rebounds and Tafarian Black chipped in 10 points and 6 rebounds.
