The Summit’s regular season ended on a doubly sad note. They were upset by New Providence and had to play without the services of Matt Fischetti who broke his hand in the West Essex game. Sadly, Fischetti’s season is over.

New Providence threw a very aggressive zone defense at the Hilltoppers and Summit struggled to brake the zone. One way to break a zone is to score from the perimeter with 3 pointers. However, Summit had a bad night from 3 point land, hitting only 2 of 13 attempts. By contrast, in the final quarter New Providence drained 3 threes to give them the one point margin of victory. It didn'thelp thatSummit hit on only 3 of 10 free throw attempts

Late in the 1st half New Providence was given a gift of two point when the Refs awarded a one and one free throw attempt when Summit had only committed 6 fouls. The scoring table should have sounded the horn and corrected the situation, but they didn’t. Both free throws were made, and in the end, these two points spelled the difference.

Summit took its first lead of the game at the start of the 4th quarter. Mac Wiesner scored a 3 pointer and Pete Cummings scored a free throw and a Field Goal. That put Summit ahead 26-23, but an NP 3-pointer tied the game. Cummings scored a FG and a free throw to reestablish the 3 point advantage, but not for long. Another trey and a FG put New Providence back up by two. A pair of FGs by Robby Walsh sandwiched a FG by NP and left the score tied at 33-33. Jordon Gonzalez put made it 35-33 with less that a minute left. However, NP drained its third 3-pointer of the quarter to win 36-35.

Walsh led Summit with 10 points and 14 rebounds
