Senior Curtis Gadles (Pembroke, MA) was the star for the Owls with twenty-three points on ten of eighteen shooting. He also hauled in fourteen rebounds to lead the team. Junior Andrew Deffer (Beverly, MA) was hot once again from three-point land as he drained four triples en route to a nineteen point evening.
