Pomfret 69 Canterbury 46
Jan. 29: After falling behind 7 - 2, Pomfret put together a run to take a lead that would not be relinquished. Andrew Robinson set the offensive tone with 11 first-half points and Dan Gagnon chipped in with 10. Danny Metzgar set the tone defensively all day by stepping into passing lanes and causing havoc for the Canterbury guards. Pomfret extended their lead and at the end of the first half Pomfret led 40 - 22. Cantebury put together a run to start the second half as Pomfret saw its 18-point lead dwindle to just 10, but a missed dunk by Canterbury’s 7-foot center turned into a 3-pointer at the other end from Gagnon. That shot stopped the bleeding and good play down the stretch helped keep Canterbury at bay. Pomfret put 4 players in double figures with Robinson leading the way with 18, followed by Gagnon with 16 and Kahari Beaufort and Nic Lane both adding 14 a piece.
Beaufort led the way with 11 rebounds, while Lane led the team with 5 Assists and Metzgar finished with 8 steals.
