Scotts Valley, CA -- Senior Tom Kreta's 21 points on eight-of-nine shooting led the Keelhaulers to their fourth win in five California Pacific Conference games, a 83-55 victory at Bethany College on Tuesday night.

The Keelhaulers (8-6 overall, 4-1 in the CalPac) bounced back from a tough loss to Menlo College on Saturday afternoon, breaking open a once-tight matchup with a blistering 29-0 run to begin the second half. Junior Cody Gatton was the workhorse for the Keelhaulers during their big push, pounding the ball inside for 10 straight points. Gatton finished with 14, while junior guard Mikey Ferguson added 11, and senior Praise Odo-Boms and sophomore Craig Dull contributed 10 apiece.

Odo-Boms also finished with 13 rebounds, as the Keelhaulers dominated the rebounding by a 46-26 margin.

"Our performance in the second half was as good as our exection has been all year," said Keelhaulers head coach Tim Harrison. "How competitive we are in the CalPac will depend on how well we can continue executing our offense, and how intense we can be on the defensive end of the floor."

In limiting Bethany to only 14 second-half points, Cal Maritime held the Wildcats to 23 percent shooting. Bethany's leading scorer, Earnest Williams, finished with 19 points, but was harried into a five-for-17 night from the floor.

Thursday night, the Keelhaulers travel to William Jessup University (Rocklin, CA) for a match-up of the top two teams in the conference. Jessup sits atop the CalPac standings with a 5-0 mark, leading the Keelhaulers by a single game.
