They came to give a show, and a show was what the sellout crowd received. The men's basketball team beat the McMaster Marauders 88-68 for the first game this season in the annual BroMac Cup. The BroMac is awarded each year to the winner of the regular season games between these two longtime rivals.
All you really need is a little help. Outstanding performances across the board doesn't hurt either. Brock's women's figure skating team took a two day trek to the University of Waterloo to compete against a host of other Ontario University Athletics (OUA) schools.
The Brock Badgers swim team decided to get a little splash time Friday night when they hosted the Western Mustangs, in preparation for the OUA Championships Feb. 11-13. This time the Badgers will be hosting the Ontario University Athletics (OUAs) with a handful of swimmers looking to qualify for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Swimming Championships, which will be held in Edmonton at the University of Alberta Feb.
With the new year beginning, many of us are out trying to make positive resolutions for the year ahead.

Thunderous booms of power interspersed with high pitched cheers of encouragement resonated through the gym this weekend, as Brock's own women's volleyball team hosted consecutive games. Starting Friday night, the Badgers had nothing to lose as they prepared to face the first place Western team.
Five in a row The Brock men's basketball team rebounded from a loss against number one ranked Carleton on Jan. 14 to win five straight games, including victories against Western, Windsor and Wilfrid Laurier. The Badgers dropped from third in the national rankings to fourth after the loss at Carleton.
As hard as it may seem to believe, there is a downside to being six-time defending Ontario University Athletics (OUA) champions. Just ask Brock's wrestling team.

The game had barely started and the Badgers had already busted the game wide open with a 23-4 lead. It was a lead that they would never forfeit and a sign of dominance that had not been accentuated since their RMC win earlier in the month, and more importantly, a sign that the Badgers are a serious Ontario University Athletics (OUA) contender.
