(New London NH)  After getting routed (90-64) at Gordon on February 10th you hoped that a second meeting with Colby-Sawyer might go better.  It didn’t.

Game #26 – Aaron’s Last-Second Shot Advances Gordon Past Roger Williams in CCC Tournament

(Wenham) Remember the long prayer Aaron let fly up from the corner at Endicott to win that game in December? 
He was at it again tonight at the lively Bennett Center against Roger Williams with a shorter prayer but, like the Endicott shot, it was a game-winner. 
This time the stakes were higher as the 50-48 victory [...]

Game #23 – Greg Walker’s 28 Points Leads Gordon Past WNEC and Into the Tournament

(Wenham) Remember all those shots Greg took the last three games that went in and out? By my count, he was 12-for-34 totaling 26 points. Unfortunate Western New England caught Greg on a can’t-miss performance (12-for-15) and lost to Gordon, 77-57, on Saturday afternoon at the Bennett Center.
Greg’s 28 points were a career high and [...]
