A Huskie Voice
Keyano finishes the 2025-26 season with a win over the Tommies

Keyano Huskies 77, St. Thomas Tommies 74

In yet another tight game in a tournament full of them, the ACAC champion Keyano Huskies broke things open in the third quarter and held on through the fourth to defeat the ACAA champion St. Thomas Tommies 77-74.

The Fredericton, NB squad took a 38-37 lead into the half, led by 8 points from fifth-year guard Vincent Lyttleton. 

Keyano’s Evan Meyer looked to be unstoppable in the first quarter, scoring 11 points on five of seven shooting. DJ Haynes took over in the second and scored 10 of Keyano’s 17 points in the frame.

In the third quarter, it was Keenan Miller’s time to lead the Keyano attack. He scored 15 points as the Huskies opened up an 8-point lead.

Marcus Wilson scored 9 points for the Tommies in the fourth quarter as the Atlantic champs refused to give up. They got it back to within one possession but a three-point shot at the buzzer just missed, giving the win to Keyano. 

The starters played big minutes for both teams and accounted for most of the points. St. Thomas got 14 points from their bench while Keyano earned 7.

Despite going 0-3 in the tournament, the St. Thomas squad acquitted itself very well at the national championship, losing their three games by a combined 12 points. 

Keyano’s DJ Haynes scored 21 points in 38 minutes and was named the 4Imprint Player of the Game for the Huskies. Fifth-year senior Evan Valanne had 12 points and 8 rebounds in a leadership role for the Tommies and earned the 4Imprint Player of the Game nod for his team.

Mohawks blow past Kodiaks, advance to bronze match

Mohawk Mountaineers 94,Lethbridge Kodiaks 70

The first bronze semifinal matchup featured two wildcard teams: The ACAC’s Lethbridge Kodiaks and the OCAA’s Mohawk Mountaineers.

The first half saw the Mountaineers demonstrate the scoring prowess that they showed against Keyano, scoring over 25 points in the first two quarters. A pair of driving layups from graduating guard Scott Jenkins was the icing on the cake as Mohawk took a 54-33 lead into halftime.

Lethbridge didn’t want their season to end prematurely and roared back in the third quarter. Randall Mongard scored 10 points in the quarter as the Kodiaks got as close as within seven, but Mohawk hit the gas in the fourth, outscoring Lethbridge 26-13 in the final frame to punch their ticket to the bronze match.

Iverson Chong and Scott Jenkins tied for Mohawk’s points lead with 16. Serendipitously, they also each recorded three rebounds and three steals each. Jenkins was named Mohawk’s 4Imprint Player of the Game as he prepares for his final collegiate game on Saturday afternoon.

Nathaniel Hosannah led the game with 23 points for Lethbridge and was named their 4Imprint Player of the Game. Randall Mongard added 18 points in the setback while Marley Kenion grabbed 11 rebounds.

The Mountaineers advance to the bronze medal game and will face the PACWEST wildcard Camosun Chargers at 3 pm Pacific.

Chargers advance to bronze match for second time in three years

Camosun Chargers 66, Humber Hawks 62

The final match of the day saw the Humber Hawks clash with the Camosun Chargers. Humber was only a day removed from a semifinal loss to VIU, while Camosun had just won a riveting bronze quarterfinal matchup with the Keyano Huskies.

Both teams emphasized strong defense and unselfish offense, making this one of the most even matchups in the tournament.

The first quarter displayed that equality, as each team scored 15 points, including a layup from Kwabena Antwi at the buzzer. The second quarter was a demonstration of Camosun’s resolve as they outscored the Hawks 21-13, mainly on the back of Tyler Synesael and David Finch.

Humber mounted a furious comeback in the third quarter, outscoring the Chargers 23-12 and stunning the crowd on a Nathan Savage buzzer beater from three-quarters court to take the lead. However, they also lost CCAA player of the year Malik Grant to injury, and without their primary frontcourt engine, the Hawks ran out of answers for Camosun’s multifaceted attack. 

The Chargers gained the lead on a running floater from Cole Belton and a pair of free throws from David Finch. The Hawks came back to get within a basket in the final ten seconds but they used too much time to get there, allowing Camosun to bleed out the clock and advance to the bronze match.

David Finch, Camosun’s 4Imprint Player of the Game, scored 20 points in the victory. He also added two blocks, including a crucial one on Kwabena Antwi, Humber’s 4Imprint Player of the Game, in the fourth quarter.

Antwi himself had a memorable fourth quarter, scoring six points and driving the Humber attack. On the day, he had 13 points, tied for the team lead with Adrian Aluyi.

The Chargers will face the OCAA wildcard Mohawk Mountaineers on Saturday for national bronze. Neither team has won bronze before and Mohawk hasn’t won a national medal since their national title in 2012.
