An all Island match up in tonight's semi-final
#5 Camosun Chargers vs. #1 VIU Mariners - Friday February 28, 5:30pm | WATCH HERE
It’s an all Island rival as the Chargers and Mariners meet in today’s semi-final.
Yesterday the Chargers got by the #4 seeded Langara Falcons 64-56 in a back and forth game recording the lone upset in the quarterfinals. They will play in their fourth straight semi-final today, last winning one in 2018 when they upset the #1 Douglas Royals. They are hoping history repeats itself today.
The Mariners are the top seeded team coming into this championship tournament after a regular season that saw them win every game but one. The Mariners have a number of weapons that can take over a game at a moment’s notice and swept the seasonal series with the Chargers beating them by an average of 22.6 points. They just met in the regular season finale last weekend with the Mariners winning in a pair of lopsided games.
The winner today will play for PACWEST gold tomorrow.
