Sea Bears season comes to an end with loss to Surge in West Play-In Game

There would be no playoff roars from the Winnipeg Sea Bears this postseason.

The Sea Bears fell 84-82 to the Calgary Surge in the CEBL Western Conference Play-In Game Friday night and their season is over.

It was a valiant effort for Winnipeg, who trailed by 18 points at one point in the second quarter, but battled all the way back to tie the game in Target Score Time before Calgary would make the game-winning basket.

The awards will be handed out Wednesday.
