Concord, NH - With a conference tournament seeding on the line, and a depleted bench, the young Lady Mustangs had to find a way to win a close game against another rival. They did just that, holding on to defeat NHTI 70-57 in a game that CM just couldn't pull away from the Lynx.
Abby Tilton (Nottingham, NH) played a great game in a homecoming of sorts, tallying 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals while also taking 2 offensive fouls. Frankie Lally (Auburn, ME) finished with another double-double, 12 points and 10 rebounds, while playing with tremendous energy. Seve Deery-Deraps (Rangeley, ME) chalked up another double-digit scoring game with 11 points.
Shannon Hart led the Lynx with 14 points.
With the win, the Lady Mustangs improve to 19-8 on the year, and clinch the 3rd seed in next week's Yankee Conference Tournament. CM is hosting the tournament, and has drawn the 6th seed, Hampshire College. That game will tip-off on Thursday at 7:00pm.
