In an all FHS show down what looked like an easy win for the Mariners turned into ball game in the dying minutes thanks to some great shooting from Fredericton.
Fundy jumped out to an early 11 - o lead and took control of the game for 3 quarters. It was 22 -14 after the 1st, 45 -29 at half, and 61-43 going into the 4th. With some sick and dinged up players the Mariners tried to escape the second half with an easy win but Scott Dickinson from Fredericton connected on 4 threes in the 4th quarter to make it a single digit game. This forced the Mariners to make some clutch freethrows and good decisions late in the ball game. The final was 81-72 for the home team.
Leading the way for the visitors was Scott Dickinson who had 23 points including 6 three's. For the Mariners Billy Muxworthy connected for 21 coming off the bench. Fredericton shot 13-19 from the foul line, while the Mariners managed an improved 11-22.
Fundy's overall record improves to 3-3. They are o-3 vs Southern opponents and 3-0 vs Western teams.
