His arms are completely straight and perpendicular to the court floor. On his right arm he is wearing a white sleeve. His legs are straight and in the air crossed and he is semi leaning towards the hoop. His face is roaring as he is blasting towards the net. Behind and underneath him stand his team member watching closely as Rogers executes his play. Behind Rogers' team mate is an opposing player wearing red standing on his tip toes, his face staring in disbelief.

CONCORD, NH—After a three hour drive to Concord, NH the Moose were ready to take on the Lynx of NHTI.  It was a battle in the paint as both teams came out with icy shooting around the perimeter.   It may have been cold around the arc but junior co-captain Keith Chesley (Clinton, ME) was lighting the paint on fire the first half with a quick 16 points for the Moose.  Brandon Rogers (Turlock, CA) also came out with a bang giving the Moose 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals. 

The Moose went into half time down by seven points against the Lynx.  However, a tightly called game gave both teams foul trouble concerns. 

It was Rogers who came out in the second half with a vengeance.  Adding to his stellar first half performance, Rogers boasted an 18 point second half with another eight rebounds and three assists.  He finished the game with 29 points 15 rebounds, five assists, and three steals.  Rogers also went 9-9 from the line.  Chesley also powered through the second half but at the seven-minute mark, he was charged with his fifth foul.  Chesley ended with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Freshman Taylor Wilbur (Manchester, ME) added 13 points for the Moose while Jordan Carson (Sidney, ME) posted 11 points.  The Moose hung in strong but it was NHTI who powered through for a 109-93 win against the Moose.

The Moose have Friday off and will be up bright and early on Saturday to travel to University of Maine at Presque Isle where they will take on the Owls at 2:00p.m.
