Two GC games & two RWU games?  I know you hold the cards but don't forget to shuffle!

[scout]

I understand your point. I couldn't pass up the two semi-conference games and Gordon and RWU had compelling matchups later on in the week too.

i know i'm a few days late but hey, gordon beat salem state. is this a big deal, or has salem state diminished from what they used to be?

i'm glad gordon took them down in salem, since i know the v fans were probably classy and gracious, even in defeat.

Salem State appears to be down this year. They started a freshman point guard and even though they have some talented players, including a transfer from BC, they started 0-3 on the season. Still, as Gordon had not topped the Vikings in close to five years, it was a big win for a new coach.

No one's posted in a while; here's a rundown from the weekend through Tuesday night:

RWU got crushed at RIC 84-59.  I suppose the RIC home court advantage had something to do with it, but RWU didn't do themselves any favors with 21 turnovers and 3-16 from deep.  Petrucelli did go for 24 and 10, but the RWU defense came up way short.

Also over the weekend, ENC lost a close one to Medgar Evers 72-80 and Curry went down to Rochester 67-59.  Mastrullo went 6-12 from 3 for all 18 of his points, but Curry was led by AJ Stephens at 21 and 12.  Maybe the Curry Lakers have found their Gasol?  Curry lost to Kean the next night 73-70, led by 31 from Mastrullo (on 9-16 from deep) and 18 from Stephens.

Lat night:

NEC over Newbury 57-54
WNEC loses to Elms 65-84
AMC over Coast Guard 57-54
RC goes down to Fitchburg 48-51
UNE trounced by Colby (who might be the best team in the region this year) 48-72
Curry loses to WPI 62-76
GC over ENC 81-59
RWU over SRU 72-65

Did I read that correctly?  Anna Maria beat Coast Guard?

Sounded like a pretty exciting games too: "Point guard Junior De La Hoz (Lawrence, Mass.) scored seven points in the final 1:30, including a game-winning three-pointer, to lift the Anna Maria College men's basketball team to a thrilling 57-54 victory over Coast Guard Academy in the AMCATS home opener at The Fuller Activities Center on Tuesday night."

Is Anna Maria finally turning things around, or is Coast Guard not that good?  I'll go with both

(Wentworth travels to Coast Guard tomorrow tonight)

At the half . . . Endicott 40 Gordon 25

The three ball has been working well for Endicott and Gordon is having shooting troubles

[backboard]

Wentworth is running away from Coast Guard.  They came out at the half with a 10-1 run and have already hit 9 three's

Gordon storms back, take the lead after being down 19
