CONCORD – Pembroke’s Chris Barker helped the men and Goffstown’s Christen Peak helped the women as New Hampshire Technical Institute’s hoopsters continued their winning ways.

The women upped their season mark to 13-6 following four recent wins of their own. First, the Caps overcame a 14-point deficit – without Central alumna Jen Roy or Concord’s Katherine Little – to handle SMCC, 65-61. Andrea Norton, Cathy Murphy and Meg Mosher led NHTI.

Peak scored 14 points in the women’s easy 39-32 win over VTC. Murphy, Norton and Kathy Geddis also played well. Peak added 13 points in another lopsided NHTI win, 66-26 over Unity College. Norton turned in a 15-point, nine-rebound, eight-block performance.

EMCC then fell to the locals, 63-43. Little, back in action, scored 20 and grabbed 15 rebounds. The women were scheduled to host Northern Essex on Tuesday, Feb. 1.

The men won their final four games to close the regular season 22-3. Barker scored 11 points as the Capitals opened the week with a 91-86 victory over Southern Maine Community College. Then, in an 89-70 win over Vermont Technical College, Matt Spanos, Jesse Bopp and Chris Lawes keyed the offensive attack.

Central alumnus Nate Truncellito, along with Spanos and Zach Hall, led NHTI to a 85-74 win over Unity College. Barker, Spanos and Lawes led a second-half surge in the Caps’ 98-81 win.

Next up for the men is the Northern New England Small College Conference tournament on Feb. 3 and 5 at NHTI.
