X-Men top VReds in Fredericton

The X-Men completed a successful weekend road trip by downing the UNB Varsity Reds 101-90 in Fredericton.  The Blue and White started the trip with a 86-80 win over UPEI. 

The X-Men played a solid first half, shooting the ball very well, and took 43-34 lead to the locker room at the half.  The second half was a track meet with X outscoring UNB by a bucket, 58-56.  X was in control for the entire half, building leads of up to 19 points.  With about 3 minutes to play, UNB coach Tom Gillespie employed an intentional foul strategy to try to take the X-Men out of their game.   Gillespie's strategy backfired as the X-Men were able to keep their composure and hit 16-18 free throws down the stretch. For the game, the Varsity Reds committed a whopping 37 personal fouls (to 23 for X) sending the X-Men to the foul line an incredible 58 times (converting 44 attempts). 

X spread the wealth on offense, with Neil MacDonald and Zach Russell leading the way with 18 points.  Garry Gallimore added 16 and Mike Baxter had 14 points and a game-high 7 boards.  Ed Reynolds, who started the game, had a solid outing with 11 points and 5 rebounds. 

X shot the ball well, converting on 28 of 48 attempts (58%).  Unlike the previous night vs. PEI, when X shot 52% from 3 point range, the X-Men converted only 1 of 10 3 point attempts against the VReds.   X out-rebounded UNB 35-23.  For UNB, 3 players accounted for 82 of 90 points.  Tom Spink had 31, Dan Goggin 28 and Dan Thomson 23.

 X plays next at UCCB on Friday Nov 26 at 8PM.
