Nipmuc Regional will take on Longmeadow in the third round of the playoffs at 11:00 AM on Saturday. The teams both have allowed few points on average (Longmeadow 15.5, Nipmuc Regional 6.9), so any points scored will be well earned.
Nipmuc Regional won against Oakmont Regional two weeks ago with 14 points, and Nipmuc Regional decided to stick to that point total again last Saturday. Nipmuc Regional walked away with a 14-6 victory over Northbridge. 14 seems to be a good number for Nipmuc Regional as the squad scooped up a win with the same point total in their contest two weeks ago against Oakmont Regional.
Meanwhile, Longmeadow brought a two-game winning streak into their match against East Longmeadow last week; they left with a three-game streak. Longmeadow were able to grind out a solid win over East Longmeadow, winning 14-0. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Longmeadow (and all the more bitter for East Longmeadow).
Their wins bumped Longmeadow to 7-3 and Nipmuc Regional to 9-1. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
