PAWTUCKET – For most of the first half and at the tail end of the game, Tolman gave unbeaten Classical quite a battle in their Division II contest on Friday night before dropping a 55-49 verdict.
But the Purple took care of what happened in between enabling them to walk off the Donaldson Gymnasium with a 55-49 victory.
The Tigers trailed Classical by just six with 1:30 left in the first half before the Purple rattled off six unanswered points to enter halftime with a 30-19 advantage. Down by 13 with five minutes remaining in the tilt, Tolman chopped the deficit to just four (52-48) with a minute to go before Classical settled the verdict at the free throw line.
