The Seawolves defeated the Hawaii Pacific University Sharks on Nov. 15, 70-65, as part of the Alaska/Hawaii Challenge. Fans crowded into the Alaska Airlines Center auxiliary gym to watch the matchup as the ASAA state high school volleyball championships took place in the primary arena.
The Seawolves scored the first 2 points of the night off of Bishop Tosi’s 2 free throws after a foul just 17 seconds into play. From there, the Seawolves and Sharks traded the lead throughout the first half, ending with the Sharks up 30-28. The Seawolves started to pull ahead in the second half and maintained the lead until the Sharks managed to tie the score 48-48 with a pair of free throws with less than 10 minutes remaining. The Seawolves pulled ahead with another pair of free throws from Tosi and maintained their lead the rest of the night.
During a timeout in the first half, the Alaska State Legislature honored the Seawolves Gymnastics team for their 40th anniversary with a legislative citation presented by Sen. Loki Tobin and Rep. Andrew Gray.
