In the first exhibition contest of the season, the California Maritime Academy Keelhaulers played hard right to the final buzzer.  Their opponent, UC Davis, shot the ball extremely well as evidenced by the fact that the Aggies shot 62% from the field and 47% from three point range.  Maritime was not without some bright spots as Cody Gatton lead the team with twelve points and the Keelhaulers were able to grab sixteen offensive rebounds on the night.  Coach Rooney expressed optimism regarding the team's development, "The best thing about tonight ws that our players never stopped battling.  We certainly have some key elements which we need to continue to improve.  However, we are confident we will reach our goals with continued effort and attention to execution."

The team opens up the regular non-conference schedule on Saturday night against Northwest University.  Tip off time is scheduled for 7:30pm immediately following the women's game. Go Keelhaulers!
