WILMINGTON —&nbsp;The Delaware Blue Coats dropped a close game, 102-101, against the Maine Celtics on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Chase Fieldhouse.&nbsp;



The Blue Coats had a chance with 18.5 seconds left in the game, after Saint Thomas forced Maine’s Hayden Gray out of bounds. In the next play, Igor Milcic Jr. got stripped of the ball driving to the hoop by Gray to cement the win.&nbsp;&nbsp;



“It felt like it really was a game of runs,” head coach JP Clark said. “We had the lead and then of course it went down to the last possession. That’s the type of game it was.”



Five Blue Coats had double digit scoring and three finished with double-doubles, including DeAndre Williams, Milcic Jr., and Kennedy Chandler.&nbsp;



Johni Broome carried the load with a team-high 27 and Williams added 25 and 12 boards.



A 15-0 by the Celtics put the Blue Coats down 10 after the first quarter. In the second, they went on a 20-2 run of their own to retake the lead, and led 56-48 at halftime.&nbsp;



After a tied game in the third, the Celtics built another sizable lead with a 13-0 run with 5:52 left. It was back and forth the final minutes of Saturday’s contest, but two dagger threes by Celtics’ Max Shulga gave his team momentum in closing time.

COATS FALL TO MAINE, 102-101
