In the road victory over Canadore (0-12), the Knights built quarter leads of 24-11, 46-25 and 65-39.
“This was a nice win on the road,” Niagara head coach Phil Mosley said. “Our guys were able to establish themselves in the first half and build a comfortable lead by executing on offence and bringing defensive pressure and intensity. We were able to rotate all of our players through the lineup and provide some much-needed rest for some starters.”
Top performers for Niagara were: Alino-DelaCruz with 15 points; Grandison with 14 points and seven boards; Larmand with nine points; Marquise Lara-Caston with nine points; and, Williams with eight points.
Niagara is at Sheridan Friday at 8 p.m.
