The Buccaneers’ concluded the year with a 17-14 record.

Blinn found itself in a hole in the first half as the Navigators built a 41-20 halftime advantage. The Bucs fought back after the intermission and cut Lee’s lead down to six with less than 7 minutes remaining, but the Navigators held on for the win.

“We got buried in the first half, but our guys never stopped playing,” Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. “We fought until the end, we just got behind too much too early to come all the way back.”
