HOW IT HAPPENED 

• The Chargers took a quick four-point lead within the first minute and a half off of quick back-to-back buckets by Dana Bean (Franklin, N.H.), but back to back three-pointers by Marcus Fox (Danbury, Conn.)  and Gio Ciampa (Tewksbury, Mass.) brought the Saints ahead 8-6.

With 6:30 remaining in the half, Fox completed an and-one and was followed by three-pointers by Ciampa and Moulder, but Colby-Sawyer was able to stay ahead to close out the half with jump shots by Coffey and Kyle Landrigan (Madbury, N.H.), 43-42.
