Guelph vs. Fraser Valley
The Fraser Valley Bandits got their bye with a 84-70 win against the Guelph Nighthawks.
The biggest key for Fraser Valley was the 15 steals they had, leading to 19 points. Jahenns Manigat had four and Marek Klassen had three.
Manigat also won Player of the Game for his 20 points. He also hit six threes.
As for Guelph, their patented balanced scoring attack wasn’t enough. Four of their five starters were in double digits, but no one scored more than 12 points.
