The California Maritime Keelhaulers earned a split over the weekend with a close win against Bethany University and a tough loss against William Jessup.

Against Bethany, junior Andrew Johnson made a pull up jump shot with 1.4 seconds on the clock to put Maritime ahead to stay with a 61-59 victory.  Cody Gatton led the team in scoring with 18 points. 

On Saturday night, the Keelhaulers took a 33-32 lead into the halftime break.  However, they went cold offensively down the stretch, shooting only 28% in the second half, and could not hold off the hot shoot Warriors of Willliam Jessup.  Will Williams led the Keelhaulers with 20 points and was joined by John Stiles in double figures with 15.

The team is back on the court Tuesday night when they will battle Pacific Union College on the road at 7:30pm.  The Keelhaulers return home on Thursday when they will battle Cal State East Bay.

Go Keelhaulers!
