Men's Basketball Season Ends at Cabrillo
The Los Medanos Mustangs men's basketball battled to the final minutes but fell 95–87 to Cabrillo College Wednesday night in the opening round of the 3C2A Northern California Regional Playoffs.
Los Medanos came out strong offensively and matched Cabrillo basket for basket throughout the first half. The two teams traded scoring runs, with the Mustangs pushing the pace and attacking the rim. At halftime, the game was deadlocked 46–46, setting up a tightly contested second half.
Cabrillo gained a slight edge after the break, using strong rebounding and free-throw shooting to gradually create separation. The Seahawks controlled the glass with 56 total rebounds, including 22 on the offensive end, which led to second-chance opportunities that proved critical down the stretch.
Despite the deficit, the Mustangs continued to apply pressure and stayed within striking distance for much of the half. Cabrillo, however, converted key possessions late and capitalized at the free-throw line, finishing 24-of-37 from the stripe to hold off the Mustang rally.
With the loss, Los Medanos closes the 2025–26 season with a 14–15 overall record and a 9–7 conference mark, earning a postseason berth after a strong conference campaign.
