History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Elijah Mensah’s<\/a> sterling start to the Canada West season continued Friday in a rout of the crosstown rival.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mensah scored over 20 points for the sixth time in seven games this season and the Winnipeg Wesmen\u00a0rolled to a 93-67 win over the Manitoba Bisons in a Canada West conference men’s basketball game at the Duckworth Centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mensah led the Wesmen (2-0) with 25 points and 11 rebounds, extending the best run of his five-year career in a UWinnipeg uniform. Mensah has scored at least 20 points in six out of seven games against U Sports opponents and has averaged 24.7 points per game and has shot 64 per cent from the field in those contests, all Wesmen wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n The No. 3-ranked Wesmen improved to 2-0 on the conference season as they prepare to welcome the MacEwan Griffins for two games Nov. 6-7. Their first two conference games have produced an average win differential of 28 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bisons, who showed little fight in the fourth quarter, were sent reeling from the opening bell as Winnipeg jumped out with a 21-4 run to open the game and took a 30-9 edge into the second quarter. Manitoba chipped away moderately to get the deficit down to 48-33 at halftime and managed to get as close as 59-50 with four minutes to go in the third.<\/p>\n The Wesmen, however, responded with a 14-3 run to close the third and then outscored the Bisons 22-14 in the fourth to win going away.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mensah shot 10-for-13 from the field and made five of his first six shots to carry 19 points into the halftime break.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alberto Gordo<\/a> had a stat-stuffing line of 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists, and Kato Jaro<\/a> scored 16 points with nine assists. Ryan Luke<\/a> chipped in with 13 points and six rebounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bisons (0-1) got 11 points from Brandt Lenz and Taven Vigilance, while Titus Heron and Ramogi Nyagudi\u00a0scored 10 apiece.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Wesmen dominated in the paint 50-28 and won the rebounding battle 43-32.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
