Why this one matters

The Bruins and Legends renewed their recent series in March 2025, when Northrop picked up a 65-56 win on March 7. Friday’s meeting gives North Side a chance at quick redemption and Northrop a chance to build momentum in league play. With both teams opening the new stretch of the season, expect a physical, fast-paced game down the stretch as each program looks to establish its identity.
