Game Stats

First Half Recap:

After a layoff of almost a month, MIT came out very sluggish. Salem State dominated the glass with several offensive rebounds and easy putbacks to build a slim lead. The Engineers were able to stay in the game briefly with the hustle of junior forward Boris Paskalev and baskets by sophomore Kyle Doherty and freshman Adam Gibbons. However, Salem State switched to a zone defense late in the first half as the Engineers began to struggle shooting from the outside. Salem State took a 41-29 lead going into halftime.

Second Half Recap:

The second half fared no better for the Engineers. Salem State built on their lead with second chance points and numerous foul shot opportunities. Paskalev tried to give the Engineers life with his offensive rebounds, but MIT could not get back into the game as their cold shooting continued. Paskalev and Gibbons led the team in scoring, each with 11 points.
