WINDSOR, Ont. - The St. Clair men's basketball team was able to get a quick start and hold off Sault College for a 72-62 victory Sunday afternoon at the campus gym.

Leading 39-26 at halftime the Saints allowed Sault to close the gap in the third quarter and early in the fourth the lead was only at 62-56 for the home team.

Only two Saints were able to reach double figures Tyler Storie (Windsor, Ont./WF Herman) scoring 15 points off the bench while Alex Temesy (Amherstburg, Ont./General Amherst) chipped in with 11 points.

Sault's Mark Lue-Hue led his with a game-high 24 points in the loss.
