Game #2 - Seahawks Fall Short in Home Opener; Lose to #12 Chabot 67-74

Cabrillo ended up on the wrong end of an exciting, down-to-the-wire game on Wednesday night in Aptos, losing to Chabot College 67-74.  Chabot (1-0) knocked down a barrage of 3-point shots in the 2nd half and capitalized on some late Cabrillo turnovers to hold off a late Seahawk charge.   Maurice Miller led Cabrillo (1-1) with 33 points (including six 3-pointers) and 9 rebounds.

It was a see-saw game all the way through.  An early 11-0 run put Cabrillo in front 11-3.  Cabrillo stretched the lead to as many as 12 points before Chabot took the lead with 45 sec. left in the 1st half.  After trailing 31-34 at the half, Cabrillo used a 13-6 run to take a 4-point lead, 44-40 at the 13:50 mark.  However, Chabot then used a 23-8 run to take a 63-52 lead with 6:02 remaining.  The Seahawks managed to put together one more run over the next 4:22, pulling to within 3 points at 65-68 with 1:40 to go.  But that was as close as they'd get as Chabot finished strong and held off the 'Hawks in the closing seconds.
