Wesmen captured the Basketball Manitoba Summer League title defeating the University of Manitoba

Bisons 86-80 on Wednesday night. The cross-town rivalry remains intact as both teams traded leads over the course of the game. In the end the ability of the Wesmen

Defense to limit Bison leader Eric Garcia proved to be the difference as they held him to 11 points on 3/16 shooting. Garcia had been the league's most dangerous scorer trailing only Chris Dyck of the All-Stars team. Erik Zimmerman and Nick Lother scored 13 points each while the Basketball Manitoba Summer League MVP Brayden Duff scored 10 points and grabbed 16 rebounds notching a game high efficiency rating of 21. Tanner Draward led the Bison attack with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Congratulations to the Winnipeg Wesmen, 2010 Basketball Manitoba Summer League Champions.

The 17U Provincial Team kept their momentum of the last few weeks going by easily handling the Canadian Mennonite University Blazers 95-71 and capturing fifth place in the league. Joey Nitychoruck lead the 17U's with 17 points and 9 rebounds in just 16 minutes of playing time. Elliot Taylor chipped in 11 points for the winners. Moe Muhammed led the Blazers with 17 points and 9 rebounds. The 17U team is coming off of impressive performances in Minneapolis and Regina and seem to be peaking at the right time with the National Championships starting in 5 days. Good luck in the tournament.

Basketball Manitoba would like to thank every one that made this summer league possible. Good luck with your seasons and see you next summer!
