The Keelhaulers of the California Maritime Academy were victorious over Southwestern College Thursday night by the score of 91-70.  The night marked an outstanding shooting night by Maritime as the team shot nearly 60% from the field and 65% from the three point line. 

The Keelhaulers were led by Simon Heller, Cody Gatton, and Will Williams who all scored 17 points.  Heller was 5 of 8 from the three point line and Williams was 4 of 5 from downtown.  David Prendeble led the team with 9 rebounds.  Andy Johnson played a solid floor game with seven assists in a game where the Keelhaulers combined for 21 total assists.

"We shot the ball extremely well tonight and it was great to see how many of our baskets came on the end of a great pass.  Our effort was much better defensively in the second half when we held them to 26% shooting.  We have a big challenge ahead of us on Saturday against a very good Dominican University team," commented Head Coach Bryan Rooney.

With the win, Maritime improves to 10-9 overall and will be back in action against Dominican University on Saturday at 7:30pm in San Rafael. 

Go Keelhaulers!
