Thomas Stapleton finished strongly and shot the ball well from the outside hitting a three-pointer in each of the four quarters. Luke Destrampe and Aiden Maher played great defense with lots of energy. Noah Schneeweis, Ben Stapleton and Collin Baker had some nice drives to the hoop and distributed the ball well.
