Senior Bryce Pearce hit five 3-point shots, bringing his career total to 346, a new school record. Pearce scored a total of 21 points at last night’s game.

When asked about the points he made,”Nobody cares who scores, its all about teamwork, “ Pearce said “Some of the guys stepped up last night and contributed to the win with the loss of Jeffrey Gocey.”

The Wolves will play game 2 against Lawrenceville Thursday night, Feb. 26 at 6:00 p.m. The winner of that game will advance to the championship round on Friday.
