ETOBICOKE – Despite a career-high 34 points from Dwayne Lambert-Cadore on seniors night, Humber men's basketball was again unable to close out late, falling to the Sheridan Bruins (12-6, 3rd West) Thursday evening, 102-92.

Nathan Waithe provided a spark off of the bench, hitting two triples to help stop the run and cut into Sheridan's large lead. After ten minutes of play, the Bruins led by eight, 26-18.
The Bruins would extend their lead to 14 before the Hawks responded with a run of their own. Over a three-minute span, Humber used a 16-2 run to tie the game at 37. A layup from Jamani Barrett with 18 seconds left gave the Hawks a three-point lead heading into the break, 48-45.
The third quarter was all Dwayne Lambert-Cadore, playing his final game at the North Campus Gym. The fifth-year senior scored 14 of Humber's 26 points in the frame, shooting six-for-seven from the floor.
Humber's fourth-quarter woes appeared once again as the Bruins dominated the final six minutes of the game. Sheridan closed out the game on a 20-8 run, cruising to the ten-point victory.
