the team ended the regular season 5-2, losing both games by a total of 4 points meanwhile a long the way beating regional power programs such as dominican power, all 4 one, and money inc...as the team success mounted so did the team and individual records...the team which consisted of mark williams (st.joseph - VT), ed lacayo (lehigh), bryan matthew (iona), dan giolemboski, (iona), charles lott (james madison), jason curry (st.michael's - VT), jackson collins (amherst), bobby willis (lehigh), julian bah (trinity college - CT), ian mcginnis (dartmouth), ross burns (UMASS) and coached by tom mcdonald lead the league in scoring average and largest margin of victory...in addition, bryan matthew's 54 points versus dominican power was the league's highest point total since the league's inception, charles lott's average of 25 points and 10 rebounds, and dan giolemboski league leading 3 point shooting propelled TFBA into the playoffs...
