MIT Escapes Late Nighthawk Surge
BROOKLINE, MA – Jimmy Bartolotta (Littleton, CO./Heritage) poured in 18 points and Mike D’auria (Newton, Mass/Newton South) added 13 to lead MIT to a 66-58 win over Newbury College, Thursday, at Papas Gymnasium.
The Nighthawks countered MIT’s potent attack with their own offensive explosion, as sophomore Walky Magloire (Waltham HS, Waltham,) tossed in 16 points to lead four Newbury players in double figures. Arch Mitchell (14 points, Framingham/Framingham HS), Steven Morris (11 points, Somerville/Somerville HS,) and Marcal Matthews (10 points, Manchester, CT/Howell Cheney Tech) also reached the mark. Morris also had a team-high six assists.
MIT shot out to a 38-26 halftime lead and stalled Newbury after the Nighthawks cut the deficit to seven (38-31). However, Newbury awoke again midway through the second half with a barrage of points from Magloire and Mitchell, and capped the rally with a three-pointer from Kyle O’Connor to get the Nighthawks within three (51-48). But MIT’s Danny Kanamori provided the back-breaker with a trey off the backboard to give the Engineers some breathing room.
MIT’s Bartolotta hit on 7-of-9 from the field, while D’auria netted 6-of-7 from the charity stripe.
Newbury fell to 7-12 and will host Tufts University next Tuesday, game time 7:00. MIT upped its season ledger to 14-6.
