Box Score
CALGARY – The University of Calgary Dinos avenged a Thursday overtime loss in Lethbridge beating the Lethbridge Pronghorns 97-71 on Seniors' Night at the Jack Simpson Gym in the back half of a home-and-home series.
 
The loss drops the Pronghorns record to 12-6 but have secured a post-season position and with the fourth best RPI, are poised to earn a first round bye. The Dinos move two games ahead of the Pronghorns at 14-4.


The Dinos offence flowed through the first three quarters and kept the high-octane Pronghorn offence out of rhythm for much of the night. Zac Overwater was the only Lethbridge player to score more than 15 points. Saren Westrop chipped in with 12 points and Awak Piom came off the bench to also score 12 points.

David Kapinga commanded the opening half of the game, facilitating the Calgary offence while contributing points at the half. The ball distribution from the guard spot was remarkable, as Calgary collected assists on 15 of 18 field goals in the first half. After 20 minutes the Dinos held a 48-36 advantage.

Calgary maintained a 10-point advantage for the opening minutes of the third before the doors blew off. Closing the quarter on a 22-3 run, the Dinos blitzed the Pronghorns, tracking down every offensive rebound and connecting from long range. Lucas Mannes scored 10 of his game-high 24 in the frame, while Calgary corralled nine offensive rebounds in the third quarter alone. They ended the game with a 20-5 advantage in second-chance points. After the dust had settled, Calgary led 81-52 going into the fourth. 

45-seconds into the fourth quarter Foreman reached into the stratosphere to throw down a vicious alley-oop that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Foreman finished with 11 points and 7 rebounds. The versatile attack was once again on display, with Mannes taking the reins, and Mambi Diawara contributing another solid outing. 

The youth, leadership, and talent of the Dinos have their eyes high to end this Canada West season. Calgary closes out its regular season against Mount Royal next weekend, which includes the infamous Pack the Jack night on Thursday. 
 
Lethbridge is faced with another daunting task, travelling to Edmonton to close out the regular season against the Alberta Golden Bears. This may not be the last time these teams see each other, as Lethbridge and Calgary join UBC and Alberta to round out the top four teams in Canada West.
