CAPERS fall in Consolation Final at X

In the first quarter, both teams sprinkled in pressure defense, which led to several turnovers for each team. 

In the opening five minutes, the Hurricanes took an 8-4 edge, on the strength of a slam dunk by Trenity Burdine (Reading, Pennsylvania). 

After a Roosevelt Whyley (Nassau, Bahamas) three-point shot, and an old-fashioned three-point play from Christian Williams (Malton, ON), the Hurricanes increased their advantage to 14-5. 

Keyed by a Maurice Colley (Dartmouth, NS) left-handed lay-up and Travis Adams (Halifax, NS) three-point finish, Holland College took their 12-point edge, after the opening 10 minutes. 

Early in the second quarter, the Capers sliced the deficit to five, on three-pointers from Christian Affolter (Bern, SUI) and Jack MacAulay (Charlottetown, PEI), while Kenny Jean-Louis (Montreal, QC) meshed three consecutive baskets. 

Led by nine points from freshman Seth McCoy (Canal Winchester, OH), the Capers made it 84-61, but they got no closer. 

Off the bench, McCoy led the Capers with 12, including three three-pointers, while MacAulay and Jean-Louis added nine apiece, in limited action. 

Nordin and McCoy were the players of the game. 

Affolter and Burdine were named all-stars, joining Kemar Alleyne (Scarborough, ON) of the Saint Mary's Huskies, Kevin Bercy (Kanata, ON) and Akil Charles (Glenn Dale, MD), both of the StFX X-Men, on the tournament team. 

Theon Reefer (Toronto, ON), of the Huskies, garnered the Ernie Foshay Memorial Award for tournament MVP. 

In the championship game, the Huskies defeated the X-Men 83-77.
