December 1, 2006 Honolulu, HI (November 30) - The Saint Martin’s men’s basketball team fell just short of a win losing to Hawaii Pacific University 65-60 Thursday night at Mid-Pacific Institute. SMU jumped out early 13-8 but the Seawolves came back to tie it up and take the lead 18-15 with 9:40 left in the first half. HPU maintained their lead throughout the half and went into the break up 37-30. The Saints battled back in the second half taking the lead a total of three times. The Seawolves tied the game 55-55 with 2:48 to go. They took a four point lead on two made free throws and a layin by Deonte Johnson, 59-55. SMU was able to pull within one on a three pointer by Jake Linton. That was as close as the Saints would get as the Seawolves capitalized on their free throws to take the win. Greg O’Neal led the Saints with 16 points on the night. Brendan Campbell had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Stephon Harris added 12 points as well as 10 rebounds. The Saints get set to face Chaminade University tonight in the last game of their transpacific road trip.
