The Men’s AA Cheetahs saw their record plummet to 5-4 with a 99-86 setback at Dawson in their final game of the fall semester. The game was close for the most part and the Cheetahs only trailed 42-38 at the half and 69-65 in the fourth quarter before the hosts went ahead and sealed the victory. Devon Forbes paced Vanier with 19 points while Presley Duah netted 18 points and Pierre Monuma and Suji Surenthiran contributed 12 points apiece in the loss.

AAA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The Women’s AAA Cheetahs traveled to John Abbott on Friday and were upset by a 77-69 score. The ladies led by a pair of points after the first quarter and then trailed by 7 points at halftime. It was a close second half but the ladies came up short as their record fell to 5-3. The Lady Cheetahs will play host to Trois-Rivières this coming Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

During this game, the Provincial Champion Vanier Cheetahs Football Team will be honored in a halftime ceremony where their championship banner will be raised to the rafters of the Vanier College Sports Complex.


AAA MEN'S BASKETBALL
In the nightcap, the Men’s AAA Cheetahs dropped an 88-79 decision to the first place John Abbott Islanders.
