The Saints were led in scoring by 5^th year guard David Gomez Jr. (Pontiac, Michigan) who netted 22 points on 10 of 13 shooting and added 4 rebounds.  Jalen Harmon (Ypsilanti, MI) was close behind with 21 points to go with 4 rebounds and a pair of steals for St. Clair.  Darnelle Peddie (Pickering, ON) was a rebound short of a double-double scoring all 13 of his points in the second half along with 9 boards.

Humber's Kevin Otoo (Toronto, ON) scored a game high 25 points to go with 7 rebounds and 5 assists to propel his team to the win.
