(Summerside, PE) When the game was in the balance tied at 100 with only minutes to go in the fourth quarter the Summerside STORM made almost every foul shot down the stretch to beat the Windsor Express 109-103 in the fifth and deciding game of their NBL semi-final in front of 2,043 frenzied fans. With the series win the STORM now move on to the NBL Finals starting Saturday April 6th in London, Ontario against the Lightning. Game two will be played Sunday night with the series shifting back to Prince Edward Island for games three and four (if needed) Wednesday April 10th and 12th at Credit Union Place.
