HUSKIES LOSE FOR SECOND STRAIGHT NIGHT2009-11-14

VICTORIA - A balanced scoring attack, combined with a shutdown performance of the league's top scorer netted the UVic Vikes a dominating 82-54 homecourt win over the no. 7 ranked Saskatchewan Huskies.

Every player who dressed scored for the Vikes, who went 12 deep and had four scorers reach double-digit totals. Cyril Indome led all scorers with a game high 19 points, shooting 7-11. Jeff Cullen came off the bench to add 11, and Zac Andrus and Nick Adair chipped in 10 apiece.

But offence only told half the story for the Vikes. The league's no. 1 ranked defence five years running limited the Huskies to 31 percent shooting and held Saskatchewan star Showron Glover to 14 points. Glover was the Canada West's leading scoring in 2008-09 and entered the contest averaging 30 points per game.

Glover made his first shot of the night, a three-pointer right off the opening tip, but Saskatchewan only scored six more points the rest of the quarter and the Vikes opened up a nine-point lead.

The Vikes lead only continued to grow and UVic really put the game out of reach with a run of 20 unanswered points midway through the second half. The Vikes shot 6-8 during their defining run that spanned the end of the third and near the six-minute mark of the fourth, and shot 48 percent overall.

Glover's 14 points led the Huskies, who lost for a second straight night during their Pacific road swing.

The Huskies will return home to host the University of Calgary Dinos next weekend.
