Fourth quarter costs Thunderwolves in Windsor

For three quarters the Lakehead Thunderwolves hung with their rivals from Windsor.

But they ran out of steam in the fourth, out-scored 25-12, and dropped an 82-71 decision to fall to 2-7 in OUA men’s basketball play.

Henry Tan dropped 19 points and Anthony McIntosh had 18 to pace the Wolves, who led 59-57 after three quarters.

Hamilton natives Dwayne Harvey and Jamar Coke had 11 points apiece for Lakehead, who got seven points, eight rebounds and a pair of blocks from rookie Brent Wallace.

Josh Collins led all scorers with 20 points for Windsor, who made 10 of 23 from long-stance, compared to just two three-pointers by the Thunderwolves.

Windsor, who will host the Wolves again on Saturday, improved to 6-3, keeping pace with McMaster, who beat Guelph 89-64 on Thursday.

Lakehead is in a three-way tie for fourth in the OUA West.
