New Covenant 67, Fairfield 56
On Monday evening, New Covenant hosted Fairfield, a AA team from Adams County. For the Flames, it was Senior Night as they set out seeking win No. 15 of the season.
Fairfield wasn’t going to make it easy, as the visitors took a 22-18 lead through the 1st quarter. New Covenant was led early by Ben Rhine with 7 points and Talan VanderPloog with 5, with each of them knocking down a three.
In the 2nd quarter, Fairfield’s scoring pace slowed as New Covenant pulled within one by halftime. Rhine added 10 points in the quarter, aided by two treys, to make it a 33-32 game at the break.
In the 3rd, the Flames tipped the scales ever so slightly, winning the frame 16-14 to take a 48-47 lead heading into the 4th. Rhine scored 5 in the quarter, while Grayden Summers added 4.
As the game entered the final eight minutes with the score 48-47, it could have gone either way. But just as they’ve done all season, the Flames put down the hammer late — outscoring Fairfield 19-10 in the 4th to secure the win. VanderPloog scored 7 points in the quarter and Summers added 6 as New Covenant closed it out.
For the game, Rhine finished with 26 points, including four three-pointers. Summers tallied 14 points with two threes, and VanderPloog had 12 points with one three.
New Covenant (15-5) will travel to take on Harrisburg Academy on Tuesday before wrapping up the regular season Thursday at Lititz Christian before turning their attention to the postseason.
