The University of Western Ontario (UWO) Mustangs men’s basketball started their 2011-12 regular season campaign on the right foot at Alumni Hall on Friday night (Nov. 11), defeating the York University Lions 78-60.
With Ryan Higgins and Ryan Barbeau setting the pace for Western, shooting for 24 and 22 points respectively on the game, UWO controlled much of the play through much of the first half, building up a solid 49-23 lead.
Western stumbled a bit through the third quarter, allowing York to claw back within eight points headed into the final frame but that is as close as they would get. Stepping up the pace in the fourth quarter, the Mustangs out hustled the Lions, adding 19 more points to their tally while allowing only nine to seal the victory.
The Western men take to the Alumni Hall hardcourt again on Saturday night (Nov. 12) when they play host to Laurentian before heading off on the road next weekend with games against Carleton on Friday (Nov. 18) and Ottawa on Saturday (Nov. 19).
