HOW IT HAPPENED

Elms would start the non-conference contest with an eight point scoring run, with senior forward/guard RJ Mayfield (Springfield, Mass.) making a tip-in and back-to-back three-point shots by junior guard Andrew Ciaglo (Hadley, Mass.), assisted by first year Jaedon Bogar (Aubrey, Texas), along with a steal by senior center/forward/guard Edgardo Jacob Cancel (Northampton, Mass.) and a block from junior guard DJ Watkins (Union, N.J.). Framingham State would then make a layup, but the Blazers would continue to add to their lead when Cancel would connect a pass to Ciaglo for a third three-point shot. As the half continued, the two sides would trade possession, with Cancel and Ciaglo would each add a steal, followed by first year guard Jamie Lawson (Charlotte, N.C.) making a layup, but the Rams would add ten points to bring the score to within a basket.
