Kennedy adds a few free throws, and finishes with 16 points.

MAAC fans, we're going to need to put Merrimack freshman PG Kevair Kennedy on triple-double watch. 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Warriors today at BU.
He had a triple-double in the PCL semifinals for Father Judge last year, and could do it in college.
