Winnipeg, MB – For the second straight night the UFV Cascades came up just short as they fell 63-50 to the U SPORTS No. 6 ranked Winnipeg Wesmen on Saturday.

Both teams struggled offensively in the contest. The Cascades shot just 26.8 percent from the floor, hitting 15 of their 56 attempts, and the Wesmen went 17-53 from the field for a 32.1 field goal percentage.

The Wesmen held a six-point lead going into the fourth, and an 11-2 run gave the hosts a 15-point lead with under five minutes remaining that proved too much for UFV to overcome.
