The Uxbridge Spartans prevailed in a tight Wednesday night contest against St. Paul, edging out the Knights in a game that was competitive from start to finish. The teams were deadlocked at 25 heading into the second half and tied again at 42 with minutes remaining, but Uxbridge executed a decisive late run to secure the win.
Brady Esposito spearheaded the finish, initiating the critical 7-2 run and finishing with 16 points and 12 rebounds to register a double-double. Thatcher Sweeney provided valuable scoring support with 11 points, and the Spartans’ late-game execution on offense and defense swung the contest in their favor. St. Paul’s Joshua Chavoor led the Knights with 20 points in the losing effort, making the outcome hard-fought until the final buzzer.
The victory improves Uxbridge’s recent form to 3-1 over its last four games and sets up a challenging matchup against the Auburn Rockets, who enter with an 11-4 record and a recent 53-34 win over Monty Tech. These teams met earlier in the season, with Auburn prevailing 69-42, so Uxbridge will need its key contributors to replicate the poise they showed down the stretch if they hope to challenge the Rockets on the road.
