HORNS WIN IN TRACK MEET

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta - The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns shot the lights out enroute to a 106-82 victory over the visiting Trinity Western Spartans and earned their first Canada West win of the new season.

Both teams came out on fire, trading shots at both ends of the court. Brian Banman (Kelowna, BC, 4th) and Scott McKinnon (Comox, BC, 5th year) fuelled the charges as both connected early and often from in tight and long range. But the high octane offense of the Spartans slowed a little, allowing the Horns to surge ahead. The Spartan press was continually picked apart by the mastery of Horns point guard Rich Steed (Calgary, AB 2nd), who finished the game with 10 assists, and as the half wound down the Horns held a double figure, 51-41 lead.

After weathering a quick Spartan surge to start the second half, the Horns asserted themselves fully behind the hot shooting of Matt Bekkering and Bruce Carbert.

The Horns extended their lead to as many as 24 with five minutes remaining before cruising to the final 106-82 score.

Leading the way for the Horns was McKinnon, whose 32 points were single game career high, while Matt Bekkering (Lethbridge, AB, 5th) and Bruce Carbert (Clyde, AB, 5th) chipped in with 23 and 20 respectively. Jon Schmidt (Rosedale, BC, 4th) and Banman both had 17 points for the Spartans in a losing cause.

With the Win the Horns improve to 1-2, while the Spartans fall one game under 500 at 2-3. The Horns host the SFU Clan tomorrow night at the Lethbridge College gym.
