With 18 seconds remaining on the clock and
the Laurentian Voyageurs' men's basketball team down by
one, Matt Brown stepped up to the foul line, draining both his
shots to give Laurentian a hard-fought 75-74 win over
Bishop's Gaiters Saturday Oct. 28.
Bishop played a strong offensive game leading
by four points at halftime. The pressure continued in the
second half as Bishop went on an early nine-point run. The
Voyageurs kept pace however, with several small scoring runs of
their own.
"We really played tough, both mentally
and physically," said Voyageurs' head coach Virgil
Hill. "They were a hard team and we earned this
victory."
Brown's late-game heroics capped off a
strong performance for the Hemlock, Mich. native who recorded
19 points, five rebounds and shot five for eight from
three-point territory.
The Voyageurs' next game comes Saturday
Nov. 5 against Dalhousie at 8 pm in the Ben Avery
Gymnasium.
