The Waterloo men's basketball team is rolling in 2018 as the black and gold picked up their third win of the New Year and fourth straight with a big 78-60 win over McMaster on Wednesday night at the PAC. It's the first four game win streak for the program since November of 2008.
The Warriors used a big fourth quarter, outscoring the visitors 22-8 to cruise to their sixth win of the season. With the win Waterloo is now just one game below .500 at 6-7 while McMaster fell to 2-11.
Simon Petrov (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) was very solid in his 32 minutes of action with 24 points going 11-for-21 from the field and 2-for-4 from the line. He also brought in a career high nine rebounds.
Nedim Hodzic (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) put up 17 points and nine boards while
David Ramon Prados (Madrid/Virgen de Atocha (North Platte College)) had 13 and eight.
Despite not putting up any points, rookie
Cameron Penner (Collingwood/Collingwood Collegiate Institute) was a defensive force with seven rebounds, one steal and a game high four blocks. Penner was a big factor in his squad giving up just eight fourth quarter points.
For McMaster, David McCulloch did most of the damage leading all scorers with 25 points in a losing effort.
The Warriors will look to make it five straight on Friday when they take on the Windsor Lancers at 8pm. Catch it live on OUA.tv.
