GEORGE BROWN 89, SENECA 84 (OT)

The Seneca Sting outperformed the George Brown Huskies in every major statistical category on Tuesday night except the one that matters. The Sting out-rebounded the Huskies, turned the ball over fewer times and even made twice as many three-pointers, but it wasn't enough to maintain an unblemished record.

The Huskies used a balanced attack which saw five players score in double figures and secured some key rebounds late in the fourth quarter and overtime.

George Brown clung to a first quarter lead 21-20 despite eight points in the first quarter by Sting captain Jamal Boyce. Frankie Gyamfi led the Huskies with six points in the quarter.

The teams entered the locker room with the Huskies leading 45-37 as eight Huskies made at least one field goal in the game's first two quarters. They were led by Sal Abdoulkader who had ten points for the half. Seneca, meanwhile, had eleven points from Vadim Hamilov and ten from Boyce in the first half.

In the third quarter, Seneca stormed out and eventually tied the game at 58-58 as Felix Adjei exploded for 12 points in the quarter after making three field goals and shooting 6-of-8 from the charity stripe. Bruno Silvestrin countered with seven of his own in the third quarter.

With 3:07 to play in the fourth, Hamilov made a pair of three-point shots and help lead a comeback which saw the Sting take a 77-75 lead with 47 seconds remaining. The Huskies would tie the game and eventually outscore Seneca 12-7 in the extra frame to hand the Sting their first loss of the season.

Gyamfi led the Huskies with twenty-two points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the free throw line. Silverstrin added eighteen while Abdoulkader dropped sixteen.  Hamilov (29) and Adjei (23) were the top scorers for Seneca.

The Seneca Sting (2-1) will travel to play Cambrian (0-2) Saturday at 3 p.m. while the George Brown Huskies (2-1) will host La Cité (2-0) November 16 at 7 p.m.
