Men's Basketball
The Cal Maritime men's basketball team defeated Benedictine Mesa 77-74 Friday night at Cal Maritime.
The win extended the team's current win streak to five games, secure a split of the season series and set up an opportunity to sweep a challenging weekend that includes three games in four days, and a back-to-back situation that included yesterday's victory versus EmbryRiddle.
After enjoying a respite on Saturday, CSUM will return to its home floor to face Park Gilbert in Sunday's 7:30 p.m. league tilt and return to action with an overall record of 11-11 and a 10-5 conference mark.
Even though the Keelhaulers led by as many as eight points, BenU remained close throughout the entire half, prevented Cal Maritime from pulling away, and trailed by one, with 5:05 left to play, until
Shawn Kelly drilled a three that extended his team's advantage to a pair of possessions.
Forced to pull up and launch a straightaway three to beat the shot clock, Perrot saw Miles Pennington corral the rebound on his attempt, which sucked the life out of Benedictine Mesa's bench since CSUM successfully wasted another 27 seconds and generated another attempt to extend its then-three-point lead.
Braxton Adderly did just that, with 19 seconds on the clock, by canning a pair of free throws, forcing the Redhawks to strategize accordingly. They chose to score a quick two points, instead of shooting from three, and accomplished half of their goal, thanks to a Cash Calloway layup, but never regained possession again.
Led by Pennington with 16, five CSUM players scored double figures, a list that included Evan Perrot (14), Kelly, Divine Nwoko (13 apiece) and Adderly (12).
