In a back in forth matchup, NHTI held on to defeat the Mustangs 124-120 in Auburn. CM went to the FT line down two with 2.9 seconds remaining. After missing both foul shots, there was a scrum for the ball, which was tipped in by Xavier Colbert (Manassas, VA) as time expired to send the game to overtime.
In overtime, both teams traded baskets before the Lynx jumped up by four points and held that lead to the final buzzer.
Carrington Miller (Bingham, ME) knocked out his forth double double of the season hitting for 29 points and hauling down 15 rebounds. Colbert also banged out a double-double hitting for 30 points and securing 10 rebounds. Jeremy Suero (Providence, RI) added 22 points, including 6-9 3FG.
