Basketball dynamic in win

The men’s basketball team took a convincing 72-49 victory over the Cegep de Sainte-Foy Dynamiques in an exhibition matchup at Bartlett Gym Wednesday evening.

Guard Ryan Hairsine put up a team-leading 22 points in the game, while the Dynamiques struggled to find any offensive flair and self-destructed, combining for 42 fouls.

The Gaels will travel to McGill this weekend for a three game preseason tournament.
