CONCORD, NH—The Moose tipped off against YSCC Conference opponent NHTI on Sunday, November 20^th for the Championship game of the NHTI Hogan Camps Thanksgiving Tournament.  A strong first half showing from Dustin Simpson-Bragg and Jordon Holmes were not enough to fend off the Lynx who outscored the Moose 61-43 in the first half.  

The Moose caught fire in the second half scoring 21 of their 42 points from beyond the arc led by Simpson-Bragg with 4 three pointers.  The defensive energy and rebounding by Nathan Martin created a surge for the Moose but unfortunately it was not enough to overcome the lead NHTI took in the first half.  The Moose finished the games as the runner-up falling to NHTI 105-85. 

Simpson-Bragg led the Moose with 33 points and Holmes pitched in 29.  Martin recorded his second collegiate career double-double finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds.  Simpson-Bragg and Martin were both named to the All-Touranment Team for their efforts.
