King of Kings 7/30 Recap Game 1


Dream Chasers pull away from 99 problems to come away with the victory.

In a see-saw battle that saw 17 lead changes throughout, The Dream Chasers pulled away from 99 problems in the fourth quarter to win 84-73. The Dream Chasers finished the regular season on a two game win streak at 3-4. 99 problems enters the postseason with a record of 2-5.

The teams seemed evenly matched throughout. Back and forth they went for the first three quarters. Neither team was able to pull away from the other once either team took the lead, keeping the game close and the audience on their toes.

In the fourth quarter, it was all Dream Chasers. The combination of made three pointers and a series of defensive stops allowed them to take the lead from 99 problems. This time they had the lead, the Dream Chasers didn't look back.

Brian Zapisek was the second leading scorer for the Dream Chasers, finishing with 19 points. Pat Moore, a Notre Dame graduate and current Colgate player was instrumental in the team’s victory, was the leading scorer. Moore finished with 22 points. Josh Wright and Chad Johnson shared the load offensively for 99 problems finishing with 18 and 19 points respectively, but the duo could not muster enough firepower to will their team to another comeback.

Up next for these teams are the playoffs, starting next week. Both teams have showed flashes of excellence throughout the year, and are very capable of deep playoff runs. It will be interesting to see what each team is capable of in the playoffs.
