Coaches’ quotes: “Give Belmont credit, they made us work for everything tonight. I thought we played very tentatively in the first half even though we were leading 24-12. We told the kids at halftime that we needed to play more down hill and go to the rim, and to the kids credit they were able to do that. Good team win on the road.” – Winnisquam’s Mark Dawalga

“Can’t win games shooting 13-for-55 (24 percent) from the floor. Need to find a way to put the ball in the basket consistently. It’s not from a lack of effort.” – Belmont’s Mike Andriski

Records: Winnisquam 3-2; Belmont 2-3
