The Rebels started to dominate the game right off the bat when senior captain
Drew Barnum laid in the first basket of the game in the first
ten seconds. The Presidents could not penetrate the Rebels defense, putting up no points until freshman
Earle Brown hit a nice three halfway through the first quarter.

The Rebels played consistently throughout the whole game, making the majority of their shots and rebounds. Much of the credit goes to senior captain
Billy Nupp and Barnum. Nupp led the team with
three blocks and had a total of
nine points. Barnum led the team in scoring with an impressive
seventeen points along with a
pair of nice blocks.

Despite the leadership of Barnum and Nupp, other players had an exceptional game as well. Senior captain
Michael Bergeron led the team in defensive rebounds with
seven, senior
Zach Wilkins led the team in steals with
five, and sophomore
Corey Nystrom had the second-most amount of points with
eleven. Every Rebel player that went into game scored at least once.
The Rebels peak performance of the game was in the third quarter when they scored a total
twenty-nine points opposed to the Presidents'
zero points. Their phenomenal defense kept the Presidents at bay throughout the remainder of the game. Junior
Ben Veysey led the Presidents in scoring with just
six points.
The 3-1 Rebels will continue playing ball on Thursday, December 27 when they participate in the
Green Mountain Basketball Tournament.
