MBB | Voyageurs Take First Contest of New Year

The Voyageurs men's basketball team began the second half of their season on a high note as they handedly defeated the visiting York Lions tonight on home court. After an impressive first quarter where they outscored their opponent 22-5, the Voyageurs were able to maintain their intensity finishing with a final score of 92-53. 

Presence in the paint and shooting percentage proved to be key factors in Laurentian's victory as they out rebounded their opponent 51-30, and shot 58.1% from the field compared to the Lion's 30%. Three point shooting was likewise a notable factor as the Voyageur's shot 40% from behind the arc on their 20 attempts. 

Top performer for the home team was second year guard Kadre Gray who contributed 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists while third year guard Anthony Iacoe added 15 points of his own, shooting 50% from the field.
