Varsity basketball vs. Westminster

The Brookies headed south this afternoon to face off against the Westminster JV team.  Despite generally playing well on the road, the Brookies had a hard time getting going, with the Martlets jumping out to a quick 7-0 lead.  The Eagles stayed the course and finally settled into a rhythm at both ends of the floor.  Eaglebrook's outstanding defense, led by Michale E '24, helped get things going, allowing Eaglebrook to eventually take a 10-point lead heading into the half.  Despite opening the half on the run to take an 18-point lead, the Martlets battled back and continued to chip away at the Eaglebrook lead.  Westminster managed to cut the lead to nine a few times in the closing minutes, but in the end, the Brookies proved themselves too much for the martlets to handle, winning by a score of 48-39.
