Hurricanes defeat Chargers in tight contest

The Hurricanes hosted the Crandell Chargers Sunday, at the McMillan Centre, in ACAA Men's Basketball action.

 

The Chargers took the lead early into the first quarter with strong three-point shooting from Daniel Hawks, and Ethan Culberson. After the first, the Chargers led 25-20.

 

The Canes pulled it back in the second quarter outscoring the Chargers 20-18. Canes fifth-year guard Bryce Corless, and Chargers fourth-year guard Daniel Hawkes, both kept the game close. Corless had 13 at the end of the half while Hawkes had 14. Going into the third the score was 43-40 Chargers.

 

The Chargers got their lead back in the third and finished the quarter up 63-54. 

 

After a back-and-forth fourth quarter, the Hurricanes were up 76-75 with 30 seconds left. Fifth-year Crandell forward Mike Hofer got an uncontested layup, forcing the Hurricanes to take a timeout. After a scramble for the rebound on the Hurricanes possession, Owen Parsons got fouled on his shot attempt, causing him to go to the line. Parsons made both clutch free throws with 2.8 seconds remaining. The Chargers called timeout to set up a front court play.  Luca Del Bosco got the inbounds pass in the paint and had a good look that was contested and his shot rimmed out. The Hurricanes complete a massive comeback, winning 78-77.

 

The key players for the Hurricanes were Bryce Corless who had 21 points, 4 assists, and 4 steals, and Zachary Dawkins who had 15 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds. Finally, Owen Parsons, who was clutch in the final minute, had 10 points and 7 rebounds.

 

The key players for the Chargers were Daniel Hawkes who had 23 points, Mark Hofer who had 21 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals, and finally, Luca Del Bosco, who had 14 points, and 13 rebounds.

 

The Hurricanes take on the Mount Allison Mounties (1-11) next Saturday at the McMillan Centre as they look to keep their four-game win streak alive.

 

The Chargers host MSVU (13-0) next week as they look to snap their four-game losing streak and be the first team to beat MSVU this year.
