But nobody said it was going to be easy for the Warâ€" riors, heading to their first national championships since 1998, who will now need to win three games just to get to Sunday‘s final. "We‘re taking the tough route," said Warriors‘ head coach Tom Kieswetter, who guided that 1998 team, feaâ€" turing stand out point guard Mano Watsa. "But no one was expecting this to be easy anyway. "And we‘re not looking for any shortcuts." Despite the tougher road, the Warrtiors might be one of the sieeper teams in this year‘s tournament. They actually finished ahead of No. 2 Brock in the league standâ€" ings, before falling to them in last week‘s OUA West finals 71â€"65. And Brock fell three points shy of ousting top seed Carleton as the Ontario champs on Saturday, which would have been the defendâ€" ing national champs first loss in three years. The Warriors also played Carleton tough in their only meeting this season, dropâ€" ping a 58â€"52 decision. While most of the teams heading into this week‘s national finals will be riding the wave of emotion from the conference champiâ€" onships last weekend, at least the Warriors are well rested for what could be a grueling endurance test. They are also healthy which should be a big plus for them going against St. WATERLOO REGION‘S ONEâ€"TONNE CHALLENGE can connect you to local programs and resources that will help you lose a tonne through: * Home energy efhiciency evaluations * Telecommuting * Carâ€"sharing * Renewable energy information * Carpooling * And more!

The freshman, who was also named an Atlanuc conâ€" ference firstâ€"team allâ€"star in his first year, is also tough defensively, averaging oneâ€" andâ€"aâ€"half blocks a game. But the Warriors know a little something about defence themselves, with their veteran laden club, led by Mike Sovran, Graham Tarâ€" man, Dave Munkley and Andrew Coatsworth, playing well as a unt "Getting there is one goal â€" the ultimate goal is to be successful there. You have to go with the attitude that you can be successful, you‘ve just got to be aggressive and conâ€" fident." And with the core group graduating this year, Kieswetâ€" ter said his Warriors aren‘t going to the East Coast as tourists, so motivation won‘t be a problem.
