Trailblazer fell in their last game of the season 78-74
08:47AM / Monday, February 23, 2009
North Adams, Mass. - MCLA senior Mike Callahan (Carmel, NY) scored a career high 22 points in his final game in a Trailblazer uniform, but MCLA fell in their last game of the season 78-74 to MASCAC leading Bridgewater State. Jon Greenberg (Antwerp, Belgium) earned his 13th double-double pulling down a game high 15 rebounds and scoring a game high 24 points (tieing his season and career high).
In the first half the Trailblazers took a 35-32 lead into the half behind 14 points by Mike Perreault (Whitinsville, MA). The Trailblazers jumped out to a 6-0 lead to start the game and built a lead as high at 10 points. Slowing the Bears chipped away at that lead tieing the game at 21 with 7:45 remaining in the half. Roland Millien (Stoughton, MA) helped Bridgewater's fight back scoring 11 points in the half. Callahan's free throw gave the Trailblazers their lead back with just under 7 minutes to play. They continued that momentum taking a three point lead into the break.
In the second half the Trailblazers held off Bridgewater until the 16 minute make when Deryk Largesse (Sutton, MA) scored his only basket and free throw of the game to give the Bears their first lead of the game. Greenberg answered back for the Trailblazers and the two teams would continue to battle for the lead for the rest of the game. Greenberg and Callahan combine for 29 of the Trailblazers 39 points in the half. With two minutes left MCLA would close the Bears' lead to one but just couldn't take the lead. Down the stretch Bridgewater would go 11 for 11 from the line to seal the game with a 78-74 win.
With the win, the Bears (18-6, 10-2) take the MASCAC regular season title and will earn a first round bye in the conference tournament. MCLA (1-24, 0-12) are done for the 2008-2009 season.
