Cecil College opened their game knocking
down back-to-back three-pointers against
Montgomery-Germantown and never looked back. With six players in double-digits and a dozen three-pointers,
the Seahawks routed the visiting Gryphons 100-84.
The Seahawks went into halftime with a
48-33 lead. On the offensive end of the court they buried seven treys. On the defensive end of the court, the press was relentless, forcing numerous turnovers.
Cecil College coasted through the second half, giving many
starters a rest, while still securing a commanding victory to move to 20-4 on
the season.
Cecil College basketball has a very good day on their home court with
both the Men’s and Women’s teams defeating visiting Baltimore City Community
College squads.
The women evened their record at 10-10 with a 64-49 wire-to-wire win.
The men then fought through a seesaw battle to earn a 78-72 victory that will
surely help their #13 National Ranking in Division II Junior College polls. The
victory pushed the Seahawks to 19-4 for the season.
The men’s team is poised to make their fourth straight trip to the
National Championship. The Seahawks won the championship in 2006 and have made
several Elite Eight appearances in recent years.
The ladies led off action at the Cecil College Athletic Complex. In
spite of aggressive defense on the part of the BCCC Lady Panthers that resulted
in 19 turnovers for the game, the result never looked in doubt. The Lady Seahawks held a double-digit
lead throughout. Mid-way through the second half, BCCC managed to cut the lead
to ten, but the Seahawks rebuffed that charge and pulled away for the win.
From the tip-off the men’s game was a physical battle. The first half
was marked by numerous lead changes with BCCC grabbing a 37-36 halftime lead on
a buzzer beating 3-pointer.
The
Panthers came out fast in the second half and opened up a seven-point lead. The
Seahawks found their footing, buried a three-pointer, made a steal and quickly
erased the deficit.
After forcing the Panthers to take a timeout to stop the Seahawk run,
the Cecil squad never relinquished the lead. The Seahawks continued to play scrappy ball, coming away
with several offensive rebounds and collecting loose balls. Cecil closed out
BCCC late for the six-point victory.
