'Wick and St. Luke's Honor Teddy, Storm Earn 'W'

Brunswick and St. Luke’s gathered at center court for an emotional moment of silence in memory of Teddy Balkind prior to the Bruins falling to the Storm 63-54 in Dann Gym. 

Unable to find their groove on offense or get consistent stops defensively, Brunswick found itself trailing by nine at the break, 32-23.

Just two minutes into the second half, junior guard Wyatt Triestman exited the game with an ankle injury and would not return. However the short-handed Bruins would not go out quietly.

They proceeded to mount a furious comeback highlighted by three three-point field goals from Tristan Joseph and Matty Augustine and an electric dunk in traffic from Joseph, sending the crowd into a frenzy and giving Brunswick a 47-45 lead. 

The energy spent regaining the lead was ultimately unsustainable, as St. Luke’s outscored Brunswick 18-7 in the final four minutes of play to come out on top.

Joseph led all scorers with 21 points while Matty Augustine added 10 and Jon Sigurdsson had eight.
