The Brock Badgers secured a massive 63-41 win over the Lakehead Thunderwolves on Friday, Jan. 26 in Thunder Bay for their seventh consecutive win.  

Third-year guard Madalyn Weinert led the Badgers in points with 32 in the win. The St. Catharines product also led the way in rebounds with seven. Third-year guard/forward Oluwatito Akinnusi recorded six assists which was a game-high for either team. 

The Badgers took a strong lead early in the first quarter through Weinert, who was found down low in the paint on a pass from Akinnusi. Throughout the opening frame, the Badgers continued to show a strong defensive structure, limiting the Thunderwolves to few chances. The Badger's sizable advantage grew larger after Angeline Campbell was able to pick up a basket and the foul, converting on the free throw to make it 20-5 for Brock.   

In the second quarter, Weinert continued to rack up the points, making three consecutive two-pointers and expanding the Badgers' lead up to 30-10. After some well-worked passing, first-year point guard Shailah Adams was able to find an open Noor Bazzi who finished off the three-point play, putting Brock up 34-15 over Lakehead.  

A quick layup from third-year forward Olivia Fiorucci opened the second half for the Badgers, with the scoreline now showing 39-15 in favour of Brock. Weinert's 30^th point of the game came late in the third quarter as the Badgers amassed a 31-point lead heading into the final quarter of play.  

The fourth quarter saw the Thunderwolves close the gap, but the damage done early by the Badgers put the game firmly out of reach.
