The loss ends the Coast Guard's three-game win streak as the Bears dip to 3-2 and the Seahawks have won three straight to improve to 3-2. The non-league contest featured two charter members of the original Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC), founded in 1984.

Seahawk freshman Bryce Boggs, the CCC Rookie of the Week, led all players in scoring with his career-high 27 points, which included a slashing layup for the game-tying basket with five seconds left in regulation, and seven points in overtime.

Boggs hit a layup at 14:31 for the first double-digit lead at 15-5 for Salve Regina and later added a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws for their largest lead at 20-7 with 13:15 left in the first half.

Coast Guard would cut into the lead as sophomore Adrian Chuquillangui made an old-fashioned three-point play that started a 15-7 run for Coast Guard in the final five minutes.

Junior Mark Krebs repeated the old-fashioned three-point play during the run for his only points of the contest, and freshman Darius Adams three-peated the event to end the scoring with seven ticks left on the first half clock. The teams went into the break with a five-point difference, 40-35, in favor of the host Seahawks.

Adams led off the scoring in the second half with a layup. Graduate Student Isiah Pringle responded for Salve Regina with a 3-pointer, but the Bears had the game tied at the 13:16 mark 47-47 following freshman Zack Bradley converting Coast Guards fourth old fashioned three point play of the game.

The teams had four ties over the next two and a half minutes before Krebs followed an Adams' 3-pointer with a fast break layup at the 9:04 mark producing the Bears' largest lead, 58-53.

A 6-0 run by the Seahawks started with freshman Rodney Morton jumper at 8:51. Graduate Studente Scott St. Lawrence's layup at 7:51 regained the lead for Salve Regina at 59-58.

Junior Kevin Alvarez and Pringle exchanged 3-pointers before an 11-6 run for the Bears put Coast Guard up 72-68 with 32 seconds left in the second half. Junior Ricky Rodriguez had three baskets including two threes from far corner during the run.

Senior Eli Sponseller had made one of two free throws before fouling out on the next Seahawk possession, putting Pringle on the line with 22 seconds left. The fourth-year player made both free throws before his foul put Rodriguez at the line for a one-and-one in a two-point game with 20.9 seconds left. Rodriguez' shot rolled off the rim and was rebounded by St. Lawrence as the Seahawks pushed up to the half court before calling timeout with 17 seconds remaining.

Boggs' game-tying drive was contested by the tallest player on the Coast Guard roster, the 6-foot 7-inch Bradley, but the Seahawk freshman was able to squeeze a shot up off the glass.

Senior David Anderson had a long 3-point attempt at the buzzer that went off the back rim.

In overtime, Alvarez' layup gave the Bears a 74-72 lead at the 4:22 mark. Boggs and Morton had the next two baskets, a layup and 3-pointer, respectively, and Salve Regina took the lead for good. Morton's three was the final field goal of the game for Salve Regina, at 3:13, but the Seahawks made seven of nine free throws in the extra period to seal the victory.

Pringle finished with 19 points and five rebounds while Morton also had five boards with 14 points. Boggs and Quinlan both had six rebounds while the latter finished with 12 points. St. Lawrence led the Seahawks with seven rebounds, and finished with eight points.

The Bears' bench outscored the Seahawks' bench, 37-to-4, led by Adams' team-high 18 points. Rodriquez threw in 13 points and Alvarez totalled 12 points. Sponseller also joined his teammates in double-figure scoring with 10 points.

The Bears return to action on Tuesday, December 3rd, when they travel to cross town rival Mitchell. The game will tip ay 7:00 pm.
