Vanier Men’s Division 1 Basketball Cheetahs win Provincial Gold 2020

In a nail-biter game on Sunday, March 8, 2020, the first place Vanier Cheetahs faced second-place Cégep Jean-de-Brébeuf, as the Cheetahs tried for a second consecutive Provincial title.  And glory was Vanier’s, as the Cheetahs came out with a tremendously hard-fought 79-74 Provincial Gold Medal victory over Brébeuf!

They will next play in the CCAA National Championships which will be held from March 19-21 at Humber College in Etobicoke, Ontario.

Congratulations to all the Vanier players and to the coaching staff including Assistant Head Coach Feras Saaida, Assistant Coach Kazadi Nyanguila, and Head Coach Andy Hertzog. Congratulations as well, to Pier-Olivier Racine who was named MVP of the tournament, and Christopher Biekeu and Karim Mané who were both also named to the All-Tournament team.

“Our Division 1 men’s basketball team was looking for its 2nd straight Provincial championship. It was a much-anticipated contest, as our Cheetahs, the first place team in Quebec and ranked 5th nationally, took on the Brébeuf Dynamiques, 2nd in Quebec and 7th in Canada,” said Head Coach Andy Hertzog.

Congratulations to all the Vanier players, particularly to Pier-Olivier Racine who was named MVP of the tournament as well as to Christopher Biekeu and Karim Mané who were both also named to the All-Tournament team.
