BROCK TAKES TWO TO PULL INTO FIRST PLACE TIE
The Brock Badgers won both interlock games this weekend against East Division teams to pull into a tie for first place in the OUA West. The fourth-ranked Badgers now sit atop the OUA West along with the Waterloo Warriors, who defeated the Laurentian Voyageurs 78-62.
Friday night Brock nearly doubled up on RMC, 80-44. Brock's Kevin Steinstra, the second leading scorer in the OUA, fell just short of a triple-double with 10 points, 15 rebounds, and nine blocks. A trio of Badgers, Brad Rootes, Morgan Fairweather (who connected on 4-of-7 from beyond the arc) and Kevin French, totalled 14 points a piece.The Paladins, who were without 2004's OUA East Player of the Year Kevin Dulude, struggled to score as Adam Asquini's 15 points led the 2-10 Kingston squad.
The next night it was much of the same with Brock downing Queen's 83-53. Steinstra again had a big night, pouring in 22 points, while point guard Brad Rootes scored 17 of his own and added 10 assists for the double-double. Neal Dawson led the Gaels with 13 points and seven rebounds.
The Gaels fell twice this weekend, as Guelph squeaked by them 61-58. Jeff Rosar paced the Gryphons with 20 points with rookie guard Nick Pankerichan scoring 11 and dishing out seven assists. For Queen's, Dawson again led the charge with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

MAC HITS CENTURY MARK
McMaster hit the century mark this weekend, defeating the winless Ryerson Ram 101-88 in Toronto. Last year's OUA West Player of the Year Adam Guiney sparked the Marauders scoring 24 points.

Rob Scully added 21 for McMaster, including 4-of-5 from three-point range. For the Rams, who pushed their winless streak to 34 OUA games, Peeter Veltman scored 18.
