Blues Will Play For Gold

The Capilano Blues have punched their ticket to the PACWEST gold medal game and the CCAA national championship after an 82-74 upset victory over the #2 Camosun Chargers on Friday afternoon.

The Blues used stifling defence not allowing the Chargers room to work in the paint.  Their quick hands tipped several passes and created 13 turnovers.  On the offensive side the Blues shot 40.8% from the field led by Martin Bogajev for the second straight game and his 21 points.  Tyrone Asenoguan tallied 19 and Sam Bailey was a difference maker added 14 and playing strong interior defence. 

The PACWEST receives two berths at the CCAA national championship and the Blues have claimed one of those and will make their way to Toronto and Humber College at the end of March.

The Chargers will play for PACWEST bronze after suffering the loss.  They shot 41.3% from the field and had balanced scoring.  Riley Botting was great with 12 points and 11 rebounds while Jake Wilmott led the way with 13 points.   

The gold medal game is set for 8pm on Saturday, while the Chargers play for bronze at 3pm.
