Capers capture AUS championship
March 3, 2013
The top-seeded and CIS No. 2-ranked Cape Breton Capers captured their fourth AUS championship banner and their first since the 2009-10 season Sunday afternoon with an 83-75 victory over the defending champion Acadia Axemen in front of 3,484 fans at the Halifax Metro Centre.
With the win, the Capers advance to next weekend’s CIS Final 8 championship in Ottawa.
Jimmy Dorsey, the two-time defending AUS player of the year, took home a trio of post-tournament awards as he was named the Subway Player of the game, a tournament all-star and the championship most valuable player.
Dorsey finished with a game-high 30 points and was a perfect 16-of-16 from the free-throw line.
Acadia’s Owen Klassen, the AUS defensive player of the year, was excellent in a losing cause as he collected 24 points and 8 rebounds.
