In one of its best performances of the season, Medway pinned a 52-45 loss Tri-Valley League foe Dover-Sherborn Tuesday behind junior point guard Matt Ozzella’s 22 points and 20 rebounds.

“In the league, every game’s a rock fight,” said Mustangs coach Jay Rojee. “But this game was definitely one of our better top-to-bottom performances from everyone."

With the victory, the Mustangs stand atop the Tri-Valley League at 4-1. Dover-Sherborn drops to 3-2.

The Mustangs led, 29-27, at the end of the half then pulled to 37-37 at the end of the third quarter. Mike Barry's defense on D-S leading scorer, Ned Linehan, was a key according to the coach.

The Mustangs sealed the game on sophomore Andrew Henry's 3-pointer.

The 6-foot-3-inch collected seven offensive rebounds in the fourth.

“Matt is tall and quick and gets to the basket. He’s one of the quickest point guards I’ve ever seen,” said Rojee.

Ozzella averages 16 points and 12 rebounds per game.

“He has the whole package,” he said.
