To start off the night it was DWC vs. Franklin Pierce in the 6pm game. Franklin Pierce got off to a slow start as they had a hard time finding the bottom of the net while on the other hand DWC ran in transition continuously scoring numerous easy buckets. When Franklin Pierce brought subs in off the bench they came with renewed energy and cut the lead to 2 with 3 minutes in the first half. DWC lead at the half 34-24. To begin the second half it was much of the same story. DWC continued to outwork Franklin Pierce and beat them to lose balls that in hindsight decided what could have been a very close game. As the final Buzzer rang DWC took the win by a score of 62-55.
The second match-up of the night between Underdogs and Rivier College saw both teams struggle to score in the beginning minutes. Both teams threw the ball around like it was a hot potato, before getting into the groove and settling down after the first ten minutes. At the half the score was 23-21 in favor of the Underdogs. In the second half both teams battled back and forth up and down the court. For Rivier Curtis Robinson helped keep them in the game with 13 points but it was not enough as Rivier dropped a tough 52-49 decision.
The third game of the night between BST Jr. and Team N.H was never a contest from the minute it started. BST Jr. jumped all over Team N.H holding a 42-24 half time lead. When the second half started BST Jr didn't let up. With the persistent effort of Matt Lemieux and Joe Fremeau BST Jr. cruised to a 83-55 win. With this win BST Jr. goes into playoff action of week 10 with major confidence and a 7-2 record.
The fourth and final game of the night was between Brandeis and Plymouth State. If you took a look on paper and at the team records of these two teams then you would think that Brandeis would run away with this game. That was not the case as the half time score was only 35-34 in favor of Brandeis. To begin the second half Brandeis came out firing on all cylinders as they quickly built an 11-point lead with eight minutes remaining in the game. As the second half continued Plymouth mounted a comeback and came within 4 but then a technical foul and two free throws created a huge swing on the scoreboard. With that Brandeis came away with the win 74-64.
