Hyperflight 52, Terminator 49

It’s hard to tell if the three guard offense is a Jay Wright Villanova team or team Terminator. Eric Raymundo, Omar Grant and Dan Gladstone (10 points) have been tearing opponents up so far this season.  With Tony Forte absent this week, Al Reyes came up big in the five-spot. The inside-outside game plan helped Team Terminator jump to an early 19-11 lead. However, they cooled off allowing Hyperflight to catch up on the three-point shooting of Iz Mateo. With the game tied at 29, Raymundo and Grant combined for a 5-0 run to take a 34-29 lead into the half.

Team Hyperflight had the height but Team Terminator’s speed was a force inside and out. Jeremy Siler (17 points, eight rebounds) made a diving mid-court hustle play to cut the lead. With 4:30 left, Niko Klansek (15 points, seven rebounds and three blocks) hit a tip in to give Hyperflight their first lead of the game.  With the score tied at 45, Raymundo (14 points) hit an elbow jumper to take the lead with 2:10 left to play. But a Klansek three pointer off the Will Perkins assist gave Hyperflight the lead back 48-47. With Hyperflight up 51-48, Grant (10 points) draws a foul on a three point shot with 17.2 left but can only hit one shot. Hyperflight holds on 52-49.
