Warriors fans, top, brought out their sign after Rob Froese, above, made gameâ€"winâ€" ning free throws.

It was Savich‘s last game at UW as a Warrior but he didn‘t have that on his mind while turning in a shooting perforâ€" mance of 20 points in the first half as Warriors built up a 38â€"29 lead and another eight in the second half. Wesmen had come back to tie he game 58â€"58 with 3: 30 remainâ€" ing and went into a 62â€"59 lead with 49 seconds left. Paul Boyce put Warriors back within one before fouling Gord Tucker, who missed with 11 seconds remainâ€" ing. ‘"‘They (Wesmen) took the ball out of our big men‘s hands but we never did lose contact because Peter was scoring," said Warrior coach Don McCrae. "He was draining them from all over the floor." After Savich‘s 28 points, Froese was the only Warrior in double figures with 14. Randy Norris scored nine and Paul Boyce added eight. _ Will Parker led Wesmen with 16 points and Tucker netted 13. Mark Johannson made 12 and Joey Vickery added 10. _ Boyce was Warriors‘ leader against Dinosaurs, scoring 20. Froese had 15 and Norris added 13. Savich scored 12 and Willie Boggild netted 10.
