Windham came
out early intent on limiting Westbrook's
number of possessions. The defensive plan
worked in holding the high powered Westbrook
offense to six total points in the first
quarter. Dominic Borelli scored four points
and Nick Jobin added the other two. Windham
answered with four points from Garrett
Clemmer and two from Nick Taylor.

its offense going in the second quarter
while Windham continued to struggle putting
the ball in the hoop. Jobin added six more
points in the second quarter and Sean Murphy
scored six points on a pair of
three-pointers. Windham's scoring came from
Clemmer's three-pointer, Szklany hit a
two-pointer and Nolan Allen chipped in with
a pair of free throws. Westbrook took a
24-13 lead into halftime.
Windham almost
closed the halftime deficit by three points
when a half court shot at the buzzer found
the rim, rolled around inside and popped
out.

three-pointers. Westbrook led 42-29 at the
end of three quarters.
