(SYDNEY, NS) The UNB REDS rebounded Saturday to earn a split of their Atlantic University Sport men's basketball weekend series at Cape Breton University.

Brandon Laryea scored a game-high 19 points to lead the REDS in a 90-71 triumph over the Capers.

Laryea also grabbed 11 rebounds for a double-double.

UNB led 51-40 at half-time and continued to build on their lead throughout the second.

Eden Otshudi added 17 points, and Connor Landell scored 15 points and had eight rebounds.

Ben Power came off the UNB bench to score 11 points and Matthias Muscroft, also coming off the bench, scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out four assists.

Tayshaun Thomas led the Capers with 11 points off the bench while Mathieu Nader-Kalombo dropped 10.

A stifling UNB defence held Cape Breton's starting five to just 22 points and the REDS outrebounded the home team 45-27.

Both teams are now 3-and-1.

The REDS return to home court on Friday when they host the Saint Mary's Huskies. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00pm.

The Capers are back in action Friday too. They welcome UPEI to Sydney.
