Millbrook showed grit and determination against an athletic and competitive Berkshire squad in a season-opening tilt in Sheffield, MA. The first-half was a back and forth affair until the last two minutes, in which Millbrook used a 6-0 run to jump to a 44-35 lead at the half.
Millbrook used that momentum to enhance the lead to 55-37 with ten minutes to go in the game. Kudos to Berkshire who would not quit throughout the afternoon. Connecting on deep three's and hurting the Mustangs on the offensive boards, Berkshire cut the lead to 4 with 3 minutes to go. Millbrook showed poise down the stretch, making 4 of their final 5 free throws and scoring on each of their final four possessions.
