Alumni: Lane, Mountaineers Capture CCAA Championship

Hamilton's Mohawk College took home the CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Assocation) National Championship this past weekend in Nova Scotia, defeating Mount Royal (Alberta) 88-73 in the championship final.

Former CWOSSA star Tanner Lane (Bishop Mac '09) contributed 12 points for the Mountaineers in the championship final, all being accounted for from beyond the three-point arc (4 three-pointers).

The win ended a fabulous --- and perhaps surprsing --- playoff run for Mohawk.  The Mountaineers were 13-5 during the OCAA regular season and had to win a qualifying game just to make it to the Ontario playoffs (they also won the OCAA title, the school's first in 40 years).

They advanced to the nationals as the #4 seed before continuing their great late season play out east.
