The Cal Maritime Women’s Basketball team played two games last weekend in Pasadena Ca. By halftime of their first game, the ladies jumped to a 34-20 lead over the home team Cal Tech, and although the second half was a little less productive, the team’s solid defense allowed the Keelhaulers to solidify a 42-36 victory. Three players finished the game in double figures.  Katie Maddox scored 13 points, Clarisse Osegueda had 13 points, and Laneesh Salahuddin poured in 11 points. The Lady Keelhaulers dominated the boards and three players ended the game in double digits.  Stacey Sorenson had 13, Jennifer Wadsworth had 12, and Salahuddin finished with 13.

 In the second game in as many days the ladies came out to a sluggish start and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology jumped out to a big lead in the first half.  Although Cal Maritime played well in the second half, it was too much of a deficit to overcome.  The Keelhaulers were lead by Katie Maddox with 14 points and Stacey Sorenson with 12.  Laneesh had another solid effort in the post scoring 9 points and grabbing 7 rebounds.  Both Maddox and Salahuddin received All-tournament honors. 

The victory over Cal Tech marked the first victory of the season for the Lady Keelhaulers.
