SVC could win the Indpendent tourney

[heythere]

isnt lincoln pa a independent, what other schools are in that independent league mitchell, newbury, st joes, svc and who else

[All-around]

Yes, Lincoln is and independent. I think you all are forgetting that there are independents outside of New England that are decent. I doubt anyone is beating Lincoln.
Chapman is usually pretty good too.

[d3bballinboston]

http://www.d3independents.com/  there are 17 teams in the assoication of indpenedents

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

It will be tough for any NE team to get into the tournament as an independent this year, espeecially with the NathCon being Pool B this year.  You've got Lincoln as a shoe in and Maryville (TN) always has a good squad.

[d3bballinboston]

lincoln's shoe-in into the NCAA's might be gone after losing to Ramapo College and now PennState Altoona.!! yikes

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

True enough.  There is now hope for other independents, unfortunately probably none from the NorthEast.

[d3bballinboston]

Newbury is back to 6-6 now with a 5 point win over E. Naz

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

That was embarrassing.  If ENC doesn't beat Anna Maria tomorrow, they're going 0 for the year.

Saturday, January 20th- The New England College Pilgrims (7-7, 2-3 CCC) fell 87-90 to the visiting Newbury College Nighthawks (8-6, 0-0 Ind) in an exhilarating match-up at Bridges Gym. 



The Nighthawks led from the get-go as sophomore Kevin Cleveland (Lynn, MA) dropped in a game-high 26 points and nine rebounds for Newbury.  The Pilgrims played a constant game of catch-up as Patrick Quinn (Sr., Holbrook, NY) contributed 17 points to the Pilgrim's offense.  NEC trailed 35-47 at the half.



The Nighthawks continued to lead until a Pilgrims run late in the second stanza that tied the game at 84 a piece.  NEC freshman Andre MacDonald (Hanson, MA) knocked down two three-pointers late in the game to keep the Pilgrims afloat.  Newbury retained the lead and held off the NEC onslaught to walk away with a 90-87 victory. 



Five NEC players scored in double digits including Quinn, Tyler Evans (Fr., Hartford, CT) with 15, Ryan Jaziri (Jr., Norwich, CT) with 16, Antoine Sylvia (Sr., Brockton, MA) with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Trevor Tonkovich (Fr., Point Pleasant, NJ) with 14.  Newbury's Heman Honore (Fr., Medford, MA) had 18 points and Steven Morris (Sr., Somerville, MA) had 16 for the Nighthawks.

Brookline, MA: Newbury College improved their record to 9-7 with a spectacular and exciting victory over the Commonwealth Coast Conference league leading Gordon College (12-5) by a score of 70-69 in Brookline tonight.  The game came down to the final seconds, as Newbury turned the ball over with 3 seconds to go clinging to a 70-69 lead giving the Fighting Scots one last chance at victory. Unsung hero, Ivan DaSilva (New Bedford, MA/West Bridgewater) sealed the victory for the Nighthawks, stealing the pass in the final seconds.



After an early 10 point lead for Gordon College in the first 5 minutes of the game, the Nighthawks clawed back with defensive intensity and selfless offensive play to even the game at halftime at 37.  Newbury had four players in double figures, led by Heman Honore (Medford, MA/St Clements's) 18 points, 7 blocks and Kevin Cleveland (Lynn, MA/Lynn Voc) 15 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assist.  Also playing a major factor was Arch Mitchell (Framingham, MA/Framingham) 12 points and point guard Steve Morris (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) who controlled the tempo, while pitching in 11 points with 6 assists.



Jon Marstaller, a 6-5 forward from Naples, ME, was sensational in defeat leading all scorers with 25 points on 10-16 shooting, 2-3 from behind the three point mark.  Also contributing was Brady Bajema (Whitinsville, MA/ Whitinsville) scoring 10 points, Michael Schnackenber (South Portland, MA/Cheverus) 9 points and Michael Herr (Lampeter PA/Lampeter-Strasburg) also tossed in 9.



The Nighthawks, winners of the last 5 of 6, travel to MIT on Saturday; game time is 3:00.

The Nighthawks Whisk Past Lesley



Brookline, MA: Newbury College improved their record to 10-8 with an exciting victory over Lesley College by the score of 74-67 tonight in Brookline, MA.  Lesley fought hard in the second half to cut the lead but just wasn't enough for the determined Nighthawks.



The Nighthawks led the entire game and had an answer for every run Lesley attempted.  Captain Arch Mitchell (Framingham, MA/Framingham) led all scorers on the night with 24 points.  Rookie Heman Honore (Medford, MA/St. Clements's) contributed 19 points and was a known presence in the paint with 7 blocks.  Captain Steven Morris (Somerville, MA/Somerville) added 10 points and dished out 4 assists in the Nighthawks victory.



The Lynx fought until the very last second of the game, but just came up short in the loss.  Malcolm Andrews (Medford, MA) led the Lynx in scoring with 14 points.  Fellow teammates Michael Lush (Saugus, MA) added 12 points and Joseph Chatman (Boston, MA) contributed 11 points on the hard fought loss for Lesley.



The Nighthawks travel to Curry College on Thursday, February 1; tip-off is at 7:00 PM.
