There's no place like home for Mountain Ridge, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They snuck past the Cyprus Pirates with a 68-63 win on Friday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Mountain Ridge's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Spencer Dow, who posted 14 points and six boards. Another player making a difference was Dylan Hatton, who earned seven points along with ten assists and seven rebounds.
Despite the loss, Cyprus still got an impressive performance from Koli Fosita, who went 9-for-13 on his way to 29 points and seven boards. Fosita is crushing it when it comes to points: he's scored at least 17 every time he's taken the court this season. Alen Hadzialijagic was another key player, shooting 45% from the field en route to 13 points in addition to six rebounds and five assists.
Mountain Ridge has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.0 points over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Cyprus fell to 3-1.
Mountain Ridge has already played their next contest (against Hillcrest), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Cyprus and Skyline will compete for holiday cheer at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
