Abbotsford, BC – The UFV Cascades picked up an important win thanks to a fourth quarter push to knock off the Calgary Dinos 93-82 on Friday night at the UFV Athletic Centre.

As it happened:
After a solid start, the Cascades took a 23-19 lead into the second quarter, but Calgary stuck right there with them. The Dinos cut the lead to just two points heading into the half thanks in part to 17 first half points from Mason Foreman.

The Dinos outscored UFV 25-17 in the third to take a six-point lead into the final frame, but the Cascades caught fire. The Cascades held Calgary to only 13 points in the fourth, while knocking down 30 of their own to seal it 93-82.

Top performers:
Dylan Kinley continued his dominant play for the Cascades since the new year, scoring a game-high 30 points to go with eight rebounds and seven assists. The fourth-year guard went 7-10 from beyond the arc.

Chris Jackson and Dario Lopez each notched 15 points on the night, while Matthias Klim hit three of four from three-point range to add 13 points of his own.

Mason Foreman notched a team-high 22 points, while adding eight rebounds in the defeat. Teammate Noah Wharton added 17 points, nine assists, and five rebounds on the night.

Quotable:
Cascades Guard Dylan Kinley
"This really just means a lot for the squad. We really take pride in playing defensively and playing team basketball, moving the ball, playing fast, and grabbing every rebound we can."

"We are doing the little things in shoot. Just trying to get our shots up, get the ball moving, and my teammates keep finding me all the time so it's all love, all around."

"It's that intensity that coach Joe [Enevoldson] has been bringing in practice lately. He wants to own the glass every game no matter who we are playing. We have to come out with that same intensity tomorrow, and maybe keep our head a bit cooler in the third because tonight we lost it a little bit."

Where they sit:
With the win the Dinos improve to 10-3 on the season, while the Cascades drop to 8-3 on the year.

The two teams clash again on Saturday for the Cascades annual Hall of Fame night with tip-off set for 7pm at the UFV Athletic Centre. The game can also be streamed live on Canada West TV.
