In today's first-round AAAA matchup at Durham College in Oshawa, the #5 Vaughan Voyageurs used a dominant second quarter to pull away from the #17 Guelph JF Ross Royals en route to a 74-42 victory.
The Royals, thanks in part to the play of forward Ryan Cook, hung around in the early going. In fact, Ross held a brief lead before Vaughan went on a quick run to close the first frame (with a 17-12 lead).
The second quarter saw Vaughan's pressure begin to wear down Ross. A few turnovers coupled with Vaughan's slashing drives to the hoop gave them a sizeable 38-17 edge at the break.
The Royals fared better offensively in the second half, but could not get any closer than 25 points. When all was said and done, Vaughan ended up with a 74-42 win.
Cook was Ross' player of the game with 19 points. Dinjiyi Walker led all scorers with 20 for Vaughan.
The Royals don't have a lot of time to dwell on the loss --- they're back on the court at 8:30pm tonight against #15 Pope John Paul II of Scarborough, who dropped a 73-58 decision to #4 Eastern Commerce. PJP II was up 33-30 at the break, but a strong second half from EC propelled them to the victory.
