Express Lose Home Opener

The two-time defending NBLC champs lost their first game of the season in dramatic fashion.

A three-pointer by Bilal Benn with two seconds left in the game propelled the Orangeville A's over Windsor 99-98.

The Express were paced by old and new faces, with veteran Chris Commons scoring a game-high 27 pts, and rookie Shaquille Keith adding 24.

The Express will be off the next couple days, before taking on the rival London Lightning Tuesday.
