WOLFVILLE, N.S. – A close game between Memorial and the Axemen opened up at the six-minute mark of the third quarter when the Sea-Hawks recorded a 14-2 run to take a commanding 57-45 lead and eventual 84-74 win in the second of a two game weekend match up.

Tied at 19 after the first quarter of play, the tight battle stretched into the second frame with a halftime 36-34 Axemen advantage.

Deadlocked at 43, the Sea-Hawks' Austin Chambers (Ajax, Ont.) layup and one from a Nick De Palma (Bedford, N.S.) foul was the start of the 14-2 run that would become insurmountable for the Axemen.

Acadia would come as close as 65-61 off of a Kyle Arseneault (Fredericton, N.B.) three-pointer, but Memorial continued to guard their lead closely until the final buzzer.
