Veterans lead the way in season opener

Join the booster club!

St FX's 'big three' of veterans led the way in a 74-69 season opening win over the UPEI Panthers in the first round of the Mickey Place tournament in Charlottetown.  Garry Gallimore led the blue and white with 18 points while Tyler Richards contributed 15 and Neil Macdonald 14 and 5 rebounds.  This was very much an up and down contest for the X-Men.  They led by as many as 14 points in the first half, but allowed the Panthers back in and held only a 3 point cushion at the half, 34-31.  The second half was a back and forth affair, and the X-Men found themselves down by 7 with about 5 minutes to play.  Rookie Christian Upshaw (13 points and 3 assists) showed glimpses of what his future holds by scoring several buckets in transition to seal the win for the X-Men.  Terrence Taylor made his presence felt in his first CIS game with 8 points and 3 rebounds in 13 minutes of action. Newcomer Dwayne Johnson also played a key role in this contest by playing some very tough defense on the Panther's star Sherone Edwards (19 points). 

For the game, X shot 58% from the field.  The story for UPEI was their 3 point shooting - 70% for the game on 11 for 15 shooting.  Acadia transfer Jared Budd was 4-4 from 3 point range and scored 17 for the Panthers.
