In the final, UPEI clipped Dalhousie 65-58 to earn their first AUAA title in history. “It will take awhile for this to sink in, but it’s nice to know, for a while anyway, you’re top dog in something,” Panthers coach George Morrison told the Dalhousie Gazette. The Tigers led 32-29 at the half. “We didn’t rant or rave at halftime. The first thing we said at half-time was, considering where we had players playing, guards playing at the post, that we were in great shape. We said if we go out and stop letting the press bother us, move the ball quicker, we should be in good shape, and it turned out we were,” said Morrison. Player of the game Curtis Brown scored 24 for the Panthers. Mike Morgan added 13. Mike Gillett led the Tigers with 14. Bo Mallott added 13.
