The Endicott Men's Basketball team improved to 11-4 with a 89-69 win against conference opponent Wentworth Institute of Technology. The home Gulls used a full court press to turn Wentworth over 21 times in the game. The take aways helped to hold the visitors to 30 points in the first half while Endicott amassed a 17 point lead at the break, converting some opportunities in transition and early in the shot clock. Despite some of the fastbreaking the overall quality of the game was lethargic mainly due to the teams combining for 51 fouls. Fortunately, the home team emerged with their 5th league win.
The Gulls were led by Nemanja Marinkovic who finished with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 assists. Jeremy Currier contributed to the scoring with 18 points. Josh Oxton had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Zach Ellis was also in double figures with ten points.
Frankie Hall and Tim Callahan paced WIT with 12 points a piece. David Ianotti added 11 points, including three 3-pointers and Matt Zeszotek had 10 points. Three starters fouled out of the game for WIT. Endicott's ability to complete 23 of 36 foul shots was good enough to get them the win.
