Bobcats-Spartans Stats

by Mark Janzen, TWU Sports Info Assistant

LANGLEY, B.C. – Trinity Western’s Tyrell Mara had a school record-breaking 21-rebound performance to lead the #4 Spartans to an 85-64 win over Brandon on Friday at the Langley Events Centre.
 
Mara also led the Spartans with 20 points as TWU overcame a rocky start to get back in the win column after having its 15-game winning streak snapped last Saturday against Saskatchewan.
  
The win improves TWU’s record to 18-3, while the loss drops Brandon to 4-15 on the year.
 
The Spartans 61 rebounds is also a single game school record, breaking the previous record of 59, which was set against Thompson Rivers Nov. 5, 2010 in a 97-57 win.
 
Brandon’s O’Brian Wallace led his team’s attack with 17 points, but he was the only Bobcat to hit double-digits. Kyrie Coleman and Isaiah James had 10 rebounds each.

CALGARY – Needing a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive as the Canada West season winds down, the Calgary Dinos emerged with a 93-81 victory on Friday over the Manitoba Bisons in the Jack Simpson Gym.
 
Despite seeing a 16-point halftime lead virtually evaporate in the third quarter, the Dinos came out with guns blazing in the fourth as they reestablished their double-digit margin and improved to 7-12 on the season. The Bisons, meanwhile, still hold a two-game lead over Calgary with a 9-10 record on the year.
  
Fourth-year Dinos forward Dustin Reding led the way with a season-high 19 points, while freshman Matt Letkeman put up an efficient 18 on 7-for-8 shooting from the field. Tyler Fidler added 13 to go with 17 boards.
 
Josh Ogden spent plenty of time with the basketball for the Manitoba Bisons on the evening, leading them with a game-high 25 points. Eric Garcia chipped in with 15, while Richard Reimer had 12 points, 14 rebounds.
 
The Dinos will look for their first series sweep of the season when they entertain the Bisons once more Saturday night.
