Blackstone-Millville pulled off an overtime upset of Gardner in a wild contest that showcased the Chargers’ late-game poise and hot shooting. BMVT had traded wins and losses early and entered the matchup around .500, but Monday night, the Chargers delivered when it mattered.
Marren Berry paced the attack with a 20-point, 10-rebound performance, while Natalia Morais (18 points) provided steady scoring as well. The game featured momentum swings, a third quarter where Gardner tried to seize control, and a tense fourth that produced overtime drama, but two late threes (from Marren Berry and Adrianna Girard) gave the Chargers the lead with seconds to spare and set the stage for the upset.
Gardner pressed through OT, but BMVT’s timely shots and defensive stops proved decisive. The win moves Blackstone-Millville above .500 and gives the program confidence heading into a road test at North tonight (6:00 p.m.), where a short skid for the Polar Bears gives the Chargers an opportunity to build on this momentum. The Chargers will need to focus on the fundamentals with consistent effort and energy to prevent the upset.
