Sullivan won NJCAA D3 Championship
Having a spotless record throughout the entire season, the Sullivan County
Community College Generals (29-0) were able to hold on to remain undefeated
Champions of the 2007 NJCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship
Tournament against the Northland Community and Technical College Pioneers
(27-4) winning 74-68 in regulation play. Winning this tournament for the
fourth time in the college's history, they set a national record for junior
college play.
Northland took the game early, not making victory easy for the Generals, as
they held the lead through most of the first half. Setting a fast-paced
game, both teams were able to move the ball quickly around the court,
finding open plays and draining baskets. With just over 10 minutes left to
play, Sullivan's Joshua Lott drained a three-point basket to tie the game up
at 15-15. Both teams fought back and forth to lead the game, and after a
three-point basket by Northland's Kyrk Freeman, the Pioneers took the lead,
to hold in into halftime, 36-34.
Coming out into the second half, Northland still held the lead, but Sullivan
slowly came back to dominate the court. Shutting down the Pioneer's offense,
the Generals fought to make shots and get back on defense. Going back and
forth for the lead, both teams fought to take a substantial lead, neither
being able to do so. Finally, Sullivan's Joshua Lott pulled and sank a
three-point shot with 37.8 seconds left to take their final lead, which they
held onto until the end of the game, winning 74-68. High scorer for the game
was Sullivan's Donte Harrison, followed by Tournament MVP Joshua Lott with
13 points. Northland Community and Technical College's lead scorer was Kyrk
Freeman with 22 points followed by Tomas Loberg with 19 points.
