IGAC was a resounding success. About 500 people took in the event and
most importantly, the players were fully engaged and each expressed
their enthusiastic support for this event and how much they enjoyed the
games. Both games were hard fought and close and that made it even more
enjoyable. The first game won by U of W went down to the last 2 seconds
and even had a buzzer beating desperation shot that didn't go in but
kept everyone on the edge of their seats. The U of M won by a slim
margin as well. Thanks to everyone who came out to support a good cause! Check out a collection of pictures taken from the evening...
