Box Score ST. CATHARINES, Ont - The Brock University men's basketball team (6-10 OUA) was defeated by the York Lions (9-7 OUA) 101-89, Saturday afternoon, at the Bob Davis gymnasium.

The Badgers were facing a strong York side highlighted by their 6' 7" "big man" Nick Tufegdzich who is almost always caught at the forefront of York's scoring summary.

Early on, Brock worked tirelessly to contain the Lion's offensive attack; the Badgers held York to only 32 points in the half, and were limiting scoring chances for Tufegdzich with strong defence in the paint.

Brock led by five heading into the third frame, which was highlighted by a monster dunk thrown down by Badger forward Dani Elgadi. Unfortunately for Brock, Elgadi's dunk seemed to build momentum for the visiting side, as the Lions would go on a tear, scoring 31 points to Brock's 20 in the quarter.

York's shooting improved dramatically in the second-half, as they would drop 8-of-10 from beyond the arc, bolstering the Lions to the 101-89 victory. 

All five of Brock's starters reached double-digits for points; led by Matt Marshall who collected 24 points and 13 boards for the double-double. Dani Elgadi collected a double-double of his own, tallying 19 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Johneil Simpson and Nolan Mackenzie tallied 19, and 16 points respectively, while Zach Angelini chipped in with 11 points and three rebounds.

Once again, York's scoring was led by Tufegdzich who collected a game-high 27 points, while adding 12 rebounds. Richard Iheadindhu accounted for 23 points out of the Lion's total offence.

For the game, the Badgers shot 43.1% (31-for-72) from the field, 26.9% (7-for-26) from beyond the arc and 80% (20-for-25) from the charity stripe. York shot 45.5% (35-for-77) from the field, 45.8% (11-for-24) from three point territory, and 74.1% (20-for-27) from the free-throw line. Brock outrebounded York; collecting a total of 41 to their oppositions 40 boards. 

Brock returns to action this Wednesday February 11, at 8pm, when they host the Guelph Gryphons.
