Matched up against the top team in the OUA and USports, the Nipissing Lakers hung in there, but were unable to pull off the upset.

A slow start hurt Nipissing and despite a much better second quarter, the damage was done and the deficit was too large to comeback from, as Carleton won 107-59.

A tough start set the Lakers back, as they trailed 30-8 after the first quarter of play.

A much improved second saw Nipissing post 26 points, edging Carleton by two and cutting into their deficit, but it was still a 54-34 disadvantage.

The third quarter sealed the game for the Ravens, as they extended their lead by 14 and took a 79-45 lead into the fourth.

Carleton put the game away in the fourth and cruised to the victory to stay undefeated.

Nipissing put up a valiant fight, but it wasn't enough.

Justin Hill was the lone Lakers player to hit double digits, putting up 27 points in tonight's matchup with the Ravens.

Nipissing heads on the road next weekend when they face Toronto and Ryerson in Toronto.
