KUA Upends New Hampton

KUA picked up its second win of the season in an excellent all-around performance against New Hampton, 52-30.  After a sluggish start defensively, the Wildcats ratcheted up their defensive intensity midway through the first frame and were able to pull away for a comfortable victory.

Offensively, the team shared the basketball well and virtually all of the Wildcats wound up on the score sheet.  Captains Hill Carter '21 and Andrew Alexandrescu '22 as well as Charlie Baughman '21, Tinashe Mtetwa '21, and Max McClure '24 once again turned in strong performances on both sides of the ball.  After a tough outing offensively against Tilton, Alvin Ku '23, who led the team in scoring on the day, and Brendan Walker '22 found their shooting touch.  Off the bench, Yohan Do '22 and Cam De Tolla '23 had excellent games, particularly on offense, where they scored several key baskets to keep New Hampton at bay.  The story of the day, however, was the balanced play of the entire team.  Keenan Thygesen '22, Tinashe Muhlauri '23, and Anthony Fresolone '21, in his first action of the year following an injury, all played with confidence and poise.  It was a true team effort.

The Wildcats return to action next Saturday against Proctor.
