MIT got back to their winning ways this afternoon with a hard-fought 69-62 win over last year's CCC champions Curry College.
The Engineers, leading by as much as 17 points, allowed Curry to creep back into the game late in the second half. MIT was able to execute down the stretch, however, to earn their 3rd win of the season.
