Men’s Basketball Outshot in January League Opener

Windsor, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Basketball team outplayed the nation's 3rd ranked team Saturday night at the SportsPlex for several stretches.  But the Saints (4-6) let a bad second quarter sink them in a 96-86 loss to Humber College (Etobicoke).  

St. Clair was up by as much as 8 points early and remained ahead 25-22 after the first quarter as both teams shot 60% from the floor.  However, in the fateful second quarter the Saints surrendered 33 points as Humber shot 69% from the field and held a 55-45 lead by halftime.  Humber kept the Saints at bay in the third quarter (23-22) and St. Clair closed to within 8 points late (94-86) but could come no closer.  The Saints did outscore Humber 18-14 in points off turnovers but were bested 33-17 in points off the bench and 26-6 in fast break points. 

David Gomez Jr. (Pontiac, MI) scored a game high 25 points for St. Clair to go with 7 assists.  St. Clair's Jalen Sykes (Redford, MI) had 18 points along with 5 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.  Daelyn Davis (Romulus, MI) chipped in with 17 points adding 10 rebounds for the Saintly double-double.

Jaylan Morgan (Brampton, ON) scored 23 points for Humber in the win.  

The St. Clair Men's Basketball team will finish the weekend home stand Sunday when they host Sheridan College (Brampton) at 3:00pm.
