Ottawa, ON -  The La Salle Explorers ended their four-day tour of Ottawa with a 94-57 blowout of Algonquin College on Monday afternoon.

Freshmen Kimmani Barrett (Paterson, NJ/Paterson Catholic) and Rodney Green (Philadelphia, PA/Prep Charter) each scored 20 points in the affair.  Green also added nine rebounds to lead his team in that category.

Green finished with a team-high 58 points (14.5 ppg) for the trip and led the team in scoring twice.  Barrett came in with 57 points and 19 rebounds in four games.

The Explorers never trailed in the contest which was their fourth game in 43 hours including yesterday's twinbill in which they split with Laurentian (W, 91-69) and Carleton (L, 76-75 OT).

Sophomore Paul Johnson (Washington, DC/Gonzaga) scored over ten points for the third time on the tour with 15-point, seven rebound effort in the get-away game.
