Box Score Story by: Martin Timmerman

The Waterloo Warriors closed out the OUA season with a Saturday afternoon win over division rival Western Mustangs 82-71. Prior to the contest graduating senior Jaspreet Gill (Oliver) was honoured for his contributions to Waterloo basketball. A big crowd was on hand for the Annual Fantastic Alumni, Faculty and Staff Day event at Waterloo.
 
The Warriors started off the contest with some cold shooting, hitting just 21% in the opening quarter and seeing Western take a 10 point lead. In the second Jaspreet Gill (Oliver) and Myles Charvis (Mississauga) found the range and connected for 24 points between them as the Warriors took a 38-33 lead into half time.
 
The two teams played it pretty even to start the second half as Waterloo would extend the lead, but Western make a comeback. A late run in the quarter gave Waterloo a 10 point lead heading into the final period. In the fourth Waterloo saw the chance to end the season on a positive note and Western was looking ahead to their playoff encounter. Waterloo pushed the lead to 16 points before two late Western baskets ended the contest.
 
Waterloo was led by Myles Charvis (Mississauga) with 30 points and six assists. Charvis ends the season with 20.3 points per game, good enough for third in OUA scoring and seventh in all of CIS. Charvis is also the first Warrior to average over 20 points per game in the OUA season since Mano Watsa hit for 20.7 ppg in the 1997-98 season.
 
Jaspreet Gill (Oliver) added 21 points in his final game as a Warrior. Jon Ravenhorst (Sarnia) had 10 points and nine rebounds. Greg Morrow led Western with 15 points, while Anthony Spiridis and Jedson Tavernier added 14 each.
 
With the win Waterloo ends the OUA season with a 6-14 record and fourth place in the newly revamped OUA West.
