Northumberland won over Essex tonight 64 to 56 in one very intense, packed and exciting contest indeed featuring two top ten teams battling it out for the right to move on.
Essex opened up the game hitting three 3s in a row to jump to a 9-0 lead causing many NHS fans to wonder about what was to come...However, game got really intense for the rest of the half with the Indians taking their 1st lead on a three themselves right before half to go up 29-28.
NHS carried that momentum in the 2nd half, went up around 12 late in 4th, game looked over, but Essex stormed back to make it 58-56 before falling at the end. Wild, fun crowd for both sides. Shame someone had to lose this one.
Lancaster won as well so both advance to regions and Conference title game.
Northumberland girls also won over LHS 55-41 to advance to regions and Conference title game.
