X-Men clinch playoff bye in win over Seahawks

Join the booster club!

Garry Gallimore scored 26 points and Neil MacDonald scored 23 as the X-Men got a 82-67 win over Memorial.  This win guarantees X a first round bye in the AUS playoffs and a likely second round matchup with Acadia. 

This game was definitely closer than the final score would indicate.  In fact, the X-Men trailed in the game until early in the second half.  The game started with the X-Men being flat and stagnant on offence while the the Seahawks came out hitting on all cylinders.  MUN was hot from 3 point range and built a lead of up to 10 points.  X closed the gap to 4 at the half on a Gallimore dunk.  X started the second half by going o a 11-3 run and never trailed again.  Memorial stayed close until the final 3 minutes when X pulled away. 

Garry Gallimore was an offensive force for the blue and white (26 points)  doing most of his damage on drives to the hoop.  Neil MacDonald was pretty much unstoppable in the post (23 points) and filled out the stat sheet with 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists. Tyler Richards added 14 points, while Dwayne Johnson did a good job for the X-Men with 11 points and 5 rebounds.  Terrance Taylor had a monster game on the boards hauling down 12.  A big key for the X-Men as they approach the post season is the rebounding and interior defense support they give to Neil MacDonald.  Taylor appears to be poised to play a big role in this area.  In this game the X-Men held a whopping 41-23 edge on the boards.  Sean Thistle led MUN with 23 points while Justin Halleran added 16

X plays next against arch-rival CBU Saturday March 3rd at 7PM Atlantic.  This game will be web cast live.
