X-Men stumble at UPEI

After reeling off 10 straight wins in the AUBC regular season, the X-Men suffered their first loss of the season at UPEI on Sunday, 72-64.  Sunday was a day of upsets in the AUS - X' chief rival in this season, UCCB, was upset at UNB, St. Mary's lost at home to Memorial and Dalhousie beat up on Acadia. 

X started the contest strong, playing some great D and jumped out to an early 22 - 11 lead. UPEI made an adjustment in the first half and threw a zone defence at the X-Men.  Unfortunately, X' shooting touch went cold against the zone and the Panthers climbed back into the game and took a 2 point lead to the locker room at the half.  The contest was a back and forth affair through the first 10-12 minutes of the second half.  However, the Panthers took control in the last 7 - 8 minutes and X was not able to respond.

4 X-Men reached double figures - Gary Gallimore (14), Zach Russell (11) Jon Bell (11) and Alex Stephens (10).  Stephens was the top rebounder for X with 8. The X-Men were without rookie standout Tyler Richards who sustained an ankle sprain in practice late last week and, uncharacteristically, did not get good production from its usually reliable bench.

The X-Men shot a good 50% from the field for the game vs. 47% for UPEI.  However, the X-Men attempted 16 fewer shots than UPEI and committed 19 turnovers. The X-Men will have an opportunity to exact revenge on the Panthers, who visit Antigonish for 2 games this upcoming weekend.  On Saturday, the teams meet at 4PM and on Sunday, 3PM.
