St. Clair Men’s Basketball Outlast Lambton in Sarnia

Sarnia, ON – The St. Clair College Men's Basketball team survived a late scare to earn a 93-83 win over Lambton College in Sarnia Wednesday night. The Saints (11-3) are now tied in the win column atop the OCAA's West Division with Mohawk (11-2). 

The Saints staked themselves to a 27-17 lead after the opening quarter, but Lambton responded in a big way with a 34-point second to knot the contest 51-51 at the halftime intermission.  Lambton took an early 3-point lead in the third quarter, but St. Clair answered to remain ahead 74-66 heading to the fourth as the pace slowed slightly.  Lambton clawed back and only trailed 83-81 with about 3:40 remaining in the game.  But that was a close as it would get down the stretch with the Saints completing the game on a 10-2 run to secure the win. 

Lambton kept the game close on the strength of their distance shooting after making 9 triples.  But St. Clair got to the basket with relative ease for a 56-28 advantage in points in the paint on their way to 48% overall shooting. 

Shakael Pryce (Pickering, ON) had a fine game for the Saints scoring a game high 29 points to go with 6 rebounds and 6 assists.  Chad Vincent-Simon (Scarborough, ON) scored 19 points for St. Clair adding 6 rebounds with teammate Terence Williams (Windsor, ON) chipping in with 12 points while contributing 5 rebounds and 5 steals.
