MIT took an 11 point lead into halftime, but could not hold off Bridgewater State in the second half tonight, dropping an 82-70 decision. MIT held the lead throughout most of the first half, building it to as many as 13, but a myriad of turnovers and poor defensive possessions were too much for the Engineers to overcome in the second stanza. Leading MIT were sophomores Mitchell Kates (24 points, 4 assists, 4 steals) and Will Tashman (8 points, 14 rebounds).
