Vikes hang on to defeat Biola in California exhibition

Dec. 29: UVic 64 Biola 60

The UVic men's basketball team completed their second game of their three game California tour. The Vikes held on in the final seconds of the game to grab a 64-60 victory over the Biola Eagles.

BOX SCORE 

The Vikes were led in scoring by Reese Pribilsky (Victoria, BC) andTerrell Evans (Las Vegas, NV), each earning 12 points. Pierce Anderson (Calgary, AB) netted eight points, followed byMichael Acheampong (Toronto, Ont.) and Chris McLaughlin (Oakville, ON), each with six points. Evans led the night in rebounds with three offensive and five defensive.

The Vikes did well from the line with Evans shooting eight for eight and Pribilsky tallying six for six. Acheampong was three for four to put the VIkes at 78.1% in free throws for the night. Pribilsky was also two for three in three pointers.

The Vikes looked strong opening the first half with a 13 point lead. Biola did their half-time homework as they were able to cut the lead to 10 in the final quarter and to two in the final three minutes of the game. An unusually long stoppage in time with 18 seconds left in the game seemed enough time for Biola to climb back, down 58-62 but Acheampong was good on the line. Biola's Davey Hopkins followed up with a quick layup to keep the game within two but a Will Patchell foul would send Anderson to the line for a final chance to put his team up by four.

The Vikes would hold on tight for the 64-60 victory and now split their series 1-1, with their final game of the tour taking place tomorrow, Dec. 30, against Azusa Pacific at 7:30 p.m. PDT.
