Hornets Secure Third Place with 82-73 Win over Masters

2/23/2016

Hamden Hall took care of Business with a needed win over Master’s in a Fairchester League Game.

The win gave the Hornet’s a Home game and third place seeding in the league playoffs against King Tomorrow at 6:15.

The Hornets were ready to play and jumped out quickly with aggressive defensive pressure that led to a 12 to 2 run. The zone trap defense kept Masters off balance; however personal fouls against Hamden Hall played a role as three Starters went to the bench, Dan Draffan, Michael DiMartino and Kyle Smith each having 2 fouls each.

The Bench play came thru with Krish Moran hitting two key three’s, the floor play of Kyle Williams along with Andrew Rice going 8 for 8 from the charity Stripe and 16 points and the solid play of T.J Rountree 14 points kept the lead in the hands of the Hornets with a half time score of 48-31.

In the second half Masters made a run cutting the lead to 4 points with 4 minutes to go. Mike DiMartino, Dan Draffan scored 8 points respectfully and Kyle Smith, Andrew Rice, TJ.Rountree added 6 points as the defensive pressure that got the Hornets out front caused havoc again and Hamden Hall increased their margin back to a 12-point advantage for their fourteenth win of the regular season.

Rice-7-0-8/10-22 pts, T.J Rountree-7-2-0-20 pts, Draffan-3-0-4/7-10 pts, DiMartino-3-0-2/3-8 pts.Moran-0-2-0-6 pts,Williams-0-2-0-6 pts, Smith-3-0-0-6 pts,Johnson-1-0-0-2 pts.Cogdell-1-0-0-2 pts.
