Of course solid team play, stingy defence and the emergence of Eli Pasquale as tournament MVP brought Vikings home first wider the wire by final curtai t time Saturday.

The loss took its toll Friday however in consola- tion play when Don McCrae’s troops feehly fell to York 89-5. - “I think we (Warriors) were disappointed with the whole thing in that we were really hoping to beat Acadia the first night,“ said UW guard Cal Keil. one of the many Warriors who contributed greatly to the fine showing of the host club. “The next day (against York) we weren't ready, and everything just seemed to bottom out. We just didn't have the same feeling going into that (se- 00nd) game." l The biggest preparation for Warriors of course was not physical. but a mental one after their emo- tional letdown stemming trom their early playoff exit at the hands of Western Mustangs. Keil credit- ed McCrae with taking the right approach, giving the players some time off to absorb the situation before working back slowly into their regular mu- "After playing so well against Acadia and St. Francis at Christmas we felt we could go up against any team, but that we would have to play better than we had been," said the graduate of J.F. Ross in Guelph. "We knew there would be no room for mental lapses -- and as things turned out we cut down on them against Acadia, but still didn't eliminate them. If we had, we would have beaten them." Despite feeling the pressure to perform, espe- cially in front of their faithful hometown crowd, Warriors came out all guns firing against Acadia, but were victimized by a slow start to the second half. As obvious as the day was long was the fact War- riors needed another outside shooter to neutralize the Acadia defensive set-up. UW sorrowly missed a player the calibre of David Bums, who sat out due to mooonuc1eosia, but doggedly remained on Aca- dia's tail throughout. For Keil, the double dip marked the second time in three years he has been part of the host land winless) team. But unlike in 1979 when he was a member of the University of Calgary Dinosaurs, this year, he left the championships with his head high. “I was pretty down two years ago, we got beat badly both games by 5-40 points, but this year we felt like we deserved to be one of the eight (par- ticipating teams). I left with a much better feeling this' time." I: available at: Walper Tobacco Shop, King & Queen Sts. Quick Trip Variety, 347 Erb St. West.
