WRAP-UP:
The Dribbling Seamen looked much sharper Sunday night. Wragge led the offense with 25 points including 15 points in the second half on five three-pointers. Additionally, the Seamen saw some passion from Molly Tranel after she was knocked down hard in the first half. Tranel's energy gave the squad a boost midway through the first half, leading them to a nice scoring run. She takes home POTG honorable mention.
The game was eventually won on a last second three-pointer from Isaiah Acfalle, who was questionable heading into tonight's game.
"That was the worst shot I took all day," said Acfalle. "But with the game tied I knew the team needed me to pull up that three. Dallas Traser had a nice block tonight, too bad it was on Molly. That gave me the motivation to take that three at the end."
The Dribbling Seamen await their week 5 schedule.
