ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – The UFV Cascades picked up an important win thanks to a fourth quarter push to knock off the Calgary Dinos, 93-82, on Friday night at the UFV Athletic Centre.

With the win the Cascades improve to 5-6 on the season, while the Dinos drop to 5-8 on the year.

After a solid start, the Cascades took a 23-19 lead into the second quarter, but Calgary stuck right there with them. The Dinos cut the lead to just two points heading into the half thanks in part to 17 first-half points from Mason Foreman. 

The Dinos outscored UFV 25-17 in the third to take a six-point lead into the final frame, but the Cascades caught fire. The Cascades held Calgary to only 13 points in the fourth, while knocking down 30 of their own to seal it 93-82.

Dylan Kinley continued his dominant play for the Cascades since the new year, scoring a game-high 30 points to go with eight rebounds and seven assists. The fourth-year guard went 7-10 from beyond the arc.

Chris Jackson and Dario Lopez each notched 15 points on the night, while Matthias Klim hit three of four from three-point range to add 13 points of his own. 

Mason Foreman notched a team-high 22 points, while adding eight rebounds in the defeat. Teammate Noah Wharton added 17 points, nine assists, and five rebounds on the night. 

The two teams clash again on Saturday for the Cascades annual Hall of Fame night with tip-off set for 8 pm MT at the UFV Athletic Centre. The game can also be streamed live on Canada West TV.
