The Seahawks battled back from a seven-point, half-time deficit by going on a 12-2 run to start the third quarter and went on to a 52-45 victory over the Winthrop Ramblers Monday night, Jan. 20 at Porter Memorial.

The Ramblers built the lead on the strength of an 8-1 run to finish the second quarter as the Seahawks struggled offensively, scoring only six points in the second quarter.

John Hepburn, who scored a game-high 25 points, got the home team going in the third period with a short jumper followed by an inside hoop by Joe DiMauro. A Hepburn basket after a scrum eventually tied the score and a steal that led to a three-point play by the junior gave the Seahawks the lead for good.

The Seahawks opened the game by scoring the first seven points before the Ramblers got four three-pointers from Jacob Hickey to help them to a two-point lead after eight minutes.
