Well, that was close…after being up 14 at the half and double digits well into the tail of the third quarter, the Windham boys found themselves down three with under two minutes left. They are most certainly a live by the three and die by the three team. Consistently out rebounded (but not out efforted) and outscored in the paint, Windham had just enough deep shooting to claw back to a 61-58 win. Much like last year Windham has the opportunity to step up and bite nearly any other team if they aren’t locking down on outside shooters but could also lose to potentially any team. Led by Chris Bilone and Jack St. Hilare bombing away from three and with Jack Runde providing the bulk of the dirty work underneath, they are less one dimensional than they were in ‘21, but are still going to be subject the highs and lows of outside shooting that can go cold for long stretches. A very good win here against a taller, more physical, Merrimack team, which makes it two in a row. Well done.
