...game started auspiciously for the cagers with Hooft barreling down the lane for a driving scoop shot and a 6-2 lead. The Quakers took a 9-8 lead when Keven McDonald, the league's premier forward, scored his first points of the night. McDonald led all scorers with 29 points but was bottled up in the second half, shooting only 36 per cent from the field...
