LENNOXVILLE, Que. – The McGill Redmen used a balanced attack to defeat the Bishop's Gaiters, 61-44, in Quebec university men's basketball league play at the Mitchell Gym, Friday night. Four players scored in double figures for the Redmen, who picked up their third straight win.

McGill (13-17, 11-11 CIS, 7-4 Quebec) was led by Vincent Dufort, who scored 16 points, while Winn Clark had a double-double, with 12 points and a game-high ten rebounds. Aleksandar Mitrovic added 11 points, while Nicolas Langley chipped in with ten for the Redmen. 

Bishop's (6-17, 6-13, 1-9) was led by Jeremy Leonard-Smith (Ottawa, Ont.), who came off the bench to score 16 points, while Mukiya Post (Victoria, B.C.) added 13. Sophomore centre Mike Andrews (Oakville, Ont.) led the Gaiters with eight rebounds and three blocked shots. 

McGill led throughout the contest, taking an 8-6 first-quarter lead before stretching the margin to 26-16 at halftime and 49-28 after three quarters. McGill put the game away on an 11-4 run in the second quarter, and a 10-0 run to end the third period put the game out of reach. 

The Redmen held a wide edge on the boards, outrebounding Bishop's 48-38. McGill also outshot the Gaiters, 39% to 32%. 

The Gaiters return to action on Friday, February 10, as they visit the Concordia Stingers. Their next home game is on Saturday, February 11, against the UQAM Citadins.
