Blues Blast Coyotes

The Capilano Blues flexed their offensive muscle beating the sixth seeded Okanagan Coyotes 113-85 to advance to Friday’s semi-final.

The Blues held a four-point lead at halftime and came out flying in the third quarter outscoring the Coyotes 35-20 and never looked back.   Russell Curley caught fire in the fourth quarter knocking down 16 points on the strength of four-three pointers.  However, overall, Tyrone Asenoguan was simply outstanding finishing with a game high 29 points, also connecting on four-three pointers and was named the Player of the Game.  CJ Campbell showed his veteran leadership scoring 21 points and David Featherson added 19.  As a team they shot 56% and had 10-three pointers.

Offensively the Coyotes had opportunities, but their shots just wouldn’t fall particularly in the second half.  They finished shooting 44% led by Allan-Koe Mundu who had 21 points and Ajay Gill collected 17 and was named the Player of the Game.  Hunter Hughes playing in his final PACWEST game was solid with 13 points and nine rebounds.

The Blues will now face the Camosun Chargers in a semi-final on Friday.  It’s a rematch of last year’s semi that the Blues won as the third seed.  The Coyotes have been eliminated from the playoffs.
