The Murray Mice moved to 2-0 on the season with an 8-6 win over the BDT's in Game 4, as first-round pick Ben Martinsen suited up for the first time this year alongside captain Adam Swarzfager.
Martinsen's Season Debut
After sitting out the Murray Mice's first three games, Ben Martinsen finally took the court and made his presence felt on defense, coming up with a block/steal in his return. He didn't need to put the ball in the hoop — Adam Swarzfager carried the offensive load, and Martinsen's length off the bench was enough to help close out the win.
Swarzfager Leads the Way
Adam Swarzfager did the heavy lifting for the Murray Mice, going 8-for-14 (57%) from the one-point line to account for all 8 of the team's points. He struggled from deep, missing all 8 of his three-point attempts, but still finished with 4 blocks/steals and 2 rebounds to go with the win.
BDT's Fall Just Short
David Anderegg kept the BDT's in it, shooting 6-for-9 (67%) from the one-point line for all 6 of the team's points and adding 4 blocks/steals and 3 rebounds. Atlee Gallagher couldn't find the basket, going 0-for-4 on one-pointers and 0-for-2 from three, but chipped in an assist. The BDT's fall to 1-1 on the season.
ELO Standings After Game 4
The Murray Mice remain undefeated and extend their lead atop the standings, climbing to 46 ELO. The BDT's take their first loss of the season and settle at 20 ELO after their participation bonus.
