The teams first met on February 19th in Bernards, with Bound Brook winning 39-33. Last week, just six days later, the Crusaders won again, but this time with more scoring, a 73-61 decision at home.
Now, they’ll meet again with a title game berth on the line.
The winner will play third-seed Immaculata. The Spartans beat 6th-seed Voorhees Tuesday in the first round, but the other opening round mathcup between 2-seed Pingry and 7th-seed North Hunterdon was scrapped, as both teams have COVID issues.
Immaculata picked up an impromptu second-round bye.
