Windsor, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Basketball team beat Humber College (Etobicoke) for the first time since 2015 with a 94-83 victory at the SportsPlex Saturday evening stretching their win streak to seven games. The Saints (13-3) have an outside shot at the top spot in the OCAA's West Division but will have to sweep their final two regular season games on the road next weekend.
St. Clair gained control early with a 24-17 advantage after the first quarter and continued to play steady until halftime taking a 49-34 lead into the intermission. Humber responded with their best effort in third outscoring the Saints but still trailed 73-62 heading to the final frame. St. Clair maintained their cushion down the stretch to come away with the win.
The teams were evenly matched statistically with very little separation on the comparison box score including shooting from distance and overall from the floor. St. Clair did manage to convert on more trips to the free throw line and slightly outrebounded Humber 39-33. The Saints also used their depth to outscore Humber 28-21 off the bench.
Chad Vincent-Simon (Scarborough, ON) led a balanced St. Clair attack with 16 points but was followed closely by teammate Terence Williams (Windsor, ON) who dropped in 15 points to go with 6 assists. Shakael Pryce (Pickering, ON) made an impact in several areas after scoring 14 points, snaring 5 rebounds and giving out 7 assists while adding 2 steals for the Saints. Jalen Harmon (Ypsilanti, MI) chipped in with 12 points for St. Clair on Senior Night as he was honoured in the pre-game along with fellow graduating players Miles Hall (Toronto, ON), Darnelle Peddie (Pickering, ON) and Jesiah Deerr (Whitby, ON).
Local native Kyle Brown-Fazekas (Windsor, ON) scored a game high 25 points for Humber in the loss.
The St. Clair Men finish their West Division schedule with a pair of games next weekend which includes 1st place Mohawk College (Hamilton) on Saturday followed by a tilt at Niagara College (Welland) on Sunday. The Saints have not ended the season with a share of 1st place in the West Division since the 2003-04 campaign.
