WINDSOR, ON - Two road games so far this season. Two wins. Wednesday night at the St. Denis Centre in Windsor, the Gryphons men's basketball team won 94-85 in what was the Lancers home opener. With the win, the Gryphons improve to 2-1 on the season while Windsor falls to 1-2.

After a tight opening quarter, the Gryphons locked down defensively in the 2nd quarter, limiting the Lancers to just 9 points in the quarter. The Gryphons took a seven-point lead into the half and saw that lead grow to 13 heading to the 4th quarter. A wildly high-scoring final quarter saw the Gryphons score 35 points but allow 39 to the Lancers. When the dust settled, the Gryphons left Windsor with a nine-point victory and their second road win of the young season.

Fourth year forward Ahmed Haroon finished with a team-high 17 points to go along with 6 rebounds. He was one of six Gryphons to score in double figures with Jonathan Wallace pouring in 16-points on just 5-of-8 shooting. Wallace was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. The Gryphons as a team were 24-of-29 from the charity stripe (83%). Point guard Daniel Dooley, like Wallace, was also 6-6 from the line and finished with 15 points. Kingslee D'Silva, now in his second year with the Gryphons, had one of his best games of his young Gryphon career, and was the only player on either team to record a double-double. D'Silva finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds while also racking up 3 blocks. Rookie point guard Jordan Sobot (Burlington, ON) poured in 15 points in 20 minutes of floor time off the bench, while fourth year guard Taylor Boers provided some sharp-shooting off the bench, going 3-of-4 from downtown and finishing with 13 points. As a team, the Gryphons shot an impressive 56% from the field on the night.

The Gryphons will now travel to St. Catharines for a Saturday afternoon matchup against the No. 6-ranked team in the country in the Brock Badgers (2-0). The Badgers were also in action on Wednesday night and, like the Gryphons, were able to pick up a road win. Brock escaped McMaster's Burridge Gymnasium with a one-point win over the Marauders, winning 72-71. Tip on Saturday in St. Catharines between the Gryphons and Badgers is set for 3pm and can be seen live online at www.oua.tv.
