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.
