A seven-game weekend kicks off for the George Brown Huskies on Friday November 11, 2022 at home at Casa Loma Campus when the basketball teams take on the visiting Algonquin Wolves. The men’s team will then also face the La Cite Coyotes on Saturday in a back-to-back.
WHAT TO EXPECT – WBB: Women’s Basketball (1-1) is coming off a road loss against the Durham Lords last week. The Huskies went into halftime with a two-point advantage, but the Lords held the Huskies to only eight points in the 3rd quarter which proved to be the difference maker in the game. Read full recap on our Women's Basketball News Page.
The home team will face a tough squad in the Wolves on Friday November 11 at 6 pm. The Wolves are 3-0 so far this season, winning by an average of 22 points per game.

The 3-1 Huskies hope to bring that same energy to their upcoming swing trip this weekend. All of George Brown’s victories so far this season have been 3-0 sweeps of their opponents.

Last season George Brown dropped their only contest to Algonquin, a 3-0 home loss.

The eighth-place Huskies (1-3) will face the third place Algonquin Wolves (3-2) on Saturday November 12 at 6 pm to start their swing. George Brown has been led so far this season by David Kiswa, a powerful outside hitter who leads the OCAA in kills with 59 and leads the team in points per set at 3.7. His supporting cast of Arsem Talebi and David Fountain each also contribute an average of 2.2 points per set for the Huskies.
The Wolves offence is largely steered by 3rd Year player Jeff Commerford who leads the team in points, total attacks, and digs.
The next day on Sunday November 12, George Brown will tip off their second game of the back-to-back against the La Cite Coyotes (0-4) at 3 pm. As La Cite looks for their first win of the season, the Huskies will have to contain the Coyotes’ primary offensive threat in Victor Landry while continuing to push their own fire power through Kiswa, Fountain, and Talebi.
