Hollis Brookline 57, Goffstown 35

Nick Fothergill led the way for Hollis Brookline, scoring 21 points. Steve Giaconia added 11 points, while Matt Simco snagged 20 rebounds.

Merrimack 54, Spaulding 16

The Tomahawks were clicking on all cylinders as they routed Spaulding by nearly 40 points.

Jolie Jacoby led the way offensively for Merrimack (3-1), scoring a game-high 15 points. Teammate Emily Johnson chipped in eight points.

Merrimack’s defensive pressure played a big part in the lopsided win, with Riley Crampton leading the effort on that side of the ball.
