NORWICH – Pennysaver/Manpower Temporary Services advanced to the YMCA Men’s Corporate Basketball League finals for the third straight year avenging a double-overtime loss to Chobani Yogurt Tuesday night.

Will Joslyn scored 24 of his game-high 30 points in the second half lifting his club to a 70-62 victory.

Buckets by Andrew Ross and Kamil Alexander late in the first half drew Chobani within 29-26 with 25 minutes to play. Joslyn, scoring mainly on the interior, scored on three layups, while Jesse Smith stuck a 15-foot jumper as part of an 8-0 run to start M/P’s second half.

Joslyn continued to fill it up in the second half with Brandon Foulds sticking a corner three ball as the lead grew to as many as 15 points.

An Alexander thunder dunk combined with Ross’ twisting off-balance shot-making led a Chobani comeback, and Neil Darragh’s three-pointer with just over two minutes to play closed the M/P lead to 60-58. On the ensuing possession, Mike Genute buried a three ball for the victors to move the lead back to five. Joslyn and Genute combined on 9-for-12 foul shooting in second half to close out the victory.
