Mystic Valley set the tone early, scoring the first six points of the game in the opening 3:30. The Eagles built on that momentum, extending their lead by an additional 11 points. Mystic Valley’s defense limited Nashoba Tech to just 7 points in the first quarter. The Eagles continued their strong play in the second quarter, outscoring Nashoba Tech to take a commanding 36-14 lead at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Eagles turned up the heat on defense, leading to several fast-break points in transition. Mystic Valley further extended their lead, dominating the third stanza. With a big lead in the fourth quarter, some of the first-year varsity players had the opportunity to see playing time and gain valuable experience. The Eagles cruised to a 70-39 victory, with sophomore Elbadaoui sealing the win with a late breakaway.
