In the sudden-death semi, Winnipeg defeated Lakehead 81-67 as freshman guard Perrie Scarlett scored 20 and led the Wesmen in the second half by driving the paint and dishing the ball to open teammates inside. Ex-Gordon Bell teammate Maurice Seales scored 28, including 16 in the first half. Winnipeg was ahead 38-36 at the break. Scarlett noted that “in the first half (Seales) came in cookin’ and just started going. I wasn’t playing that hot. Then, at the half, when I saw that he got 16 points, I said to myself: I gotta start cookin’.” Anthony Kauffman added 18 for Winnipeg while Mark Johannson added 14.
