Seawolves Fall Short Against Lynx

Seawolves Fall Short Against Lynx

Concord, NH - In last night's mens basketball action a three pointer from Seawolves shooting guard Matthew Jarrett (Norwalk, CT) made it a one point game, 89-88, with just under four minutes remaining in regulation. NHTI responded with a nine point run that helped solidify a 105-94 Lynx victory. 

The Seawolves used balanced scoring to jump out to a 23-11 lead, their largest of the game, midway through the first half. Over the next five minutes the Lynx outscored the Seawolves 15-7 and then back to back three pointers by NHTI put the Lynx on top 32-30. With just under 30 seconds remaining the Lynx clung to a one point lead until a free throw by Seawolves' guard Matt Talbot (Portland, ME) knotted the game at 44-44. A buzzer beater from downtown by NHTI's Kieran O'Brien gave the lead back to the Lynx, 47-44, going into the break. 

John Morgan (Sanford, ME) opened the second half with a layup to pull the Seawolves to within one but the Lynx answered with a mini eight point run to go up 55-46. Talbot and Seawolves' point guard Jordan DeRosby (Waterville, ME) each scored 11 second half points to keep the game close but the Lynx were red hot from beyond the arc, connecting on 8 three pointers, to pull off the 105-94 triumph.

Talbot led all Seawolves' scorers with 19 points, Morgan added 17 while DeRosby and Jack Tolan (South Portland, ME) each chipped in with 14. Talbot also lead the Seawolves in the rebound column with nine. 

Jared Stauffeneker paced the Lynx with 28 points and James Wooten came off the bench to score 25 points, including 5-11 makes from downtown. Dayvon Russell also went 8-12 from the field and scored 23 points for the Lynx.

After last night's game the Seawoles drop to 11-15 on the season. They will face off against the number two seed in the YSCC East, the Clippers of UMaine-Machias, on Saturday at 4pm at Machias.
