Franklin may be history, but the road to the state championship at the DCU Center is not going to get any easier.

The Hornets will travel to UMass Boston tonight as they take on the Brookline Warriors of the Bay State Conference at 7:30 p.m.

Mansfield is comming off a tightly contested game against Franklin that saw junior point guard Rocky DeAndrade bring the Hornets back from a three point deficit late in the forth quarter and then lock up the game in overtime with a three to put Mansfield up six with less a minute to play.

Brookline, on the other hand, is coming off a 63-46 victory over Marshfield. Elijah Rogers has been on a tear for the Warriors, scoring 21 points and pulling down five rebounds in the quarterfinals.
