Stifling Defense Propels the Mustangs to Victory

The Mustangs used their aggressive defensive pressure to stymie Gunnery’s offensive attack on route to a win in Mills Athletic Center. The Mustangs got off to a good start defensively preventing Gunnery from scoring for the first 7 minutes of the game, and holding Gunnery to single digit points in the first half. Despite the Mustangs taking time to get going offensively they did a great job rebounding and sharing the ball for 32 minutes. Millbrook assisted on 16 of 23 made field goals showing their willingness to share the ball and make plays for teammates. Millbrook hopes to build on this result vs. a talented Vermont Academy team at home Saturday at 5 PM.
