Why this one matters

The Whalers and Indians renew a recent rivalry after New Bedford edged Dartmouth 53-50 in their last meeting on Dec. 20 at Dartmouth High School (full recap and box: https://scorebooklive.com/massachusetts/girls-basketball/games/5787405-new-bedford-vs-dartmouth). Expect a physical, evenly matched game — a close finish on Dec. 20 suggests this one could come down to late free throws and defensive stops.
