🐲 Westminster 1st defeat London South Bank University 1st (LSBU) 1st 115-72 for the second time this season. In a last-minute change of venues, the Dragons ended up playing the cup tie on home grounds at the Dragons Den.

LSBU 1st learned and adjusted their tactics from their previous meeting at the BUCS opener with Westminster 1st especially in the 1st Quarter, which finished 27-20. The Dragons then went on a run which gave Westminster 1st a comfortable 60-36 lead going into the half

It was American guard Adam Stewart’s last game for the Dragons. In 23 minutes, he scored 12 points and had 8 rebounds. We wish the Washington native, all the best in his career as he recently just finished his Master’s Degree with us here at the University of Westminster.
