PIU Tide Post Second Win

The Pacific Islands University Tide rolled to a 2nd win in the Guam Church Basketball League last Saturday. We led most of the way and then held off the Bayview team at the end for a 63-55 victory. Even though the bigger Bayview team dominated the boards, the much quicker PIU team used an effective press to force multiple turnovers leading to several easy fastbreak points. The Tide were led to victory by Justin and Jake, who were named athletes of the week for Guam by Kuam news. You can watch the video of their interview at the Kuam multimedia web site. Just click on "athlete of the week Justin and Jake."



The Bayview team spent a lot of time on the free throw line. Note the number of fouls in the 2nd half on the scoreboard picture above. Hopefully next week we will cut down on the fouls a little. Perhaps it is just aggressive defense? Coach Daisy will have the team working on good defense this week I am sure.

The fans, as you can see here were going wild. 


We always have a good time playing with the Bayview guys. Good sportsmanship and fellowship.

Next week we go up against Abundant Life Church at 11.00 AM at the Tamuning gym. The uniforms came in this week so come and see the well-outfitted Tide run and gun again.
