Bold win 84-75 in tight fourth quarter against Thunderwolves

THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) Bold men's basketball team topped the Lakehead Thunderwolves Saturday night in another tight fourth quarter that ultimately ended in a 84-75 finish. 

The victory follows Friday night's loss to the opposing team, after a late comeback from the Thunderwolves, who had been trailing behind throughout most of the game.

TMU got off to an early lead, shooting 80 per cent from the field and putting up 25 points to Lakehead's 12 in the first quarter. 



The second saw the team slow down, evening out with the Thunderwolves as both teams scored 21 in the quarter. The Bold managed to out-rebound Lakehead, however, and maintain the lead through to the half.

The Thunderwolves caught up in the second half, outscoring the Bold by 13 points in the third quarter, capitalizing on free-throws and tying the game up 59-59. Lakehead also scored 20 points off TMU turnovers in the third.

The difference maker was the Bold's performance in the fourth. The team added 25 points and four steals in the quarter, regaining the lead and maintaining it through to the end. 



Aaron Rhooms tallied 24 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and six assists throughout the night, while David Walker and Lamar Everd put up 21 and 17 respectively. 

The team will head back to Toronto to face the York Lions at Tait McKenzie Centre next Friday. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
