Men’s Basketball End Road Trip with Win at Conestoga

Kitchener, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Basketball team capped a strong showing on the road this weekend with a convincing 95-81 win over Conestoga College in Kitchener Sunday afternoon.  The Saints now own a 7-10 record in the OCAA's West Division and a modest 3-game win streak.  

St. Clair held a slim 21-19 lead over Conestoga after the first quarter but increased the gap to 48-39 by halftime.  The Saints went on a scoring binge in the third quarter however and were able to grow their advantage to 26 points midway through the period. From that point St. Clair was able to relax down the stretch for the win getting all 14 players dressed into the game.  St. Clair was able to outscore Conestoga 19-3 in points off the bench and made 13 triples while shooting nearly 45% from distance.
