UQAM dominates Concordia in a high-intensity showdown

On a thrilling night at home, UQAM secured a crucial 80-69 victory over Concordia, powered by an outstanding performance from Kevin Civil, who dropped 31 points with an impressive 6/10 from beyond the arc. His offensive leadership and strong defensive presence were key in a game where intensity never wavered.
A back-and-forth first quarter

The game started with Concordia setting the pace, scoring early with a bucket from Tyrell Williams. However, UQAM responded with a three-point barrage from Civil and Elie Karojo, taking the lead. Despite Steve Mbida Abomo's strong presence in the paint, Concordia finished the first quarter with a slim 23-19 lead.

UQAM takes control

The second quarter saw a dramatic shift as the home team unleashed an offensive storm, outscoring Concordia 24-9. Led by an unstoppable Civil and a defensive wall formed by Karl-Tommy Laforest and Bahaide Haidara, UQAM took full command. Concordia struggled with their three-point shooting and had difficulty generating offense against UQAM's defensive intensity. At halftime, UQAM led 43-32.

Concordia's comeback attempt

Concordia came out with renewed energy in the second half. Mbida Abomo led the charge inside, scoring efficiently and drawing contact. Sami Jahan sparked the offense with a crucial three-pointer, cutting the lead to 51-45. However, every comeback attempt was countered by McFadden Jean and Civil, who kept UQAM in front with smart shot selection and decisive drives.

UQAM's defense secures the win

In the final quarter, UQAM controlled the pace and shut down Concordia’s offensive options. The Citadins capitalized on their opponent’s mistakes and scored effectively in transition. Despite Concordia’s late-game push, UQAM managed the final minutes wisely and sealed the victory.

Stars of the game

Kevin Civil (UQAM) – 31 points, 6 three-pointers, and the unquestioned leader.
Elie Karojo (UQAM) – 16 points and 7 rebounds, dominant inside.
Steve Mbida Abomo (Concordia) – 23 points and 8 rebounds, Concordia’s best performer.
