Lancers Take No. 8 WPI to Final Moments in Midnight Madness Showdown

Worcester, MA- As the clock struck midnight on Nov. 8, fans of the Worcester State Lancers and the No. 8 Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Engineers filed into WPI for a unique Men’s Basketball tipoff between the two Worcester schools. This was the first game played in the Division lll Men’s Basketball 2022-23 season. With pregame warmups were underway, it was clear to see that the players and fans from both teams were excited about the return of this unique opportunity that has been on pause the last few years. For many at the court, this game harkens back to their elementary school days, when sleepovers would occur every weekend and it was not uncommon for these students to sneak outside at midnight to scrimmage each other under the house lights. Under these house lights, Worcester State brought the Engineers down to the final seconds before a late layup brought WPI a 73-71 victory in the early morning.
