BOX SCORE

WPI climbs to 10-2 with a 1-0 record in the NEWMAC standings while the loss sets Coast Guard back to 6-4 with a 0-1 record in conference play.

Scoring was slow for both teams early on, as the first field goal of the game wasn’t made until nearly four minutes into the game, a jumper from the Bears’ Greg Marshall to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.

The Engineers would respond, however, with a 10-1 run capped off by a layup from Sam Longwell to give WPI an 11-3 lead with 12:26 remaining in the period. The Crimson and Gray gradually built on their lead for most of the half, forcing their trademark up-tempo style on the game.

Craig Johnson, a 2009 graduate of the Coast Guard Academy and the Bears all-time leading scorer, is still competing on the hardwood as a member of the All-Military team.

Johnson scored a record 1,715 points in his collegiate career, a school-record while grabbing 898 rebounds which is third all-time at the Academy. He was a member of the 2007-08 team which won a school-record 24 games and advanced to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Division III tournament.

At 6 feet 5 inches tall, the center for the United States’ all-military team playing at Mons, Belgium, Nov. 26-Dec. 3, could be a member of any of the five military branches. That man standing tall in middle for the 48th Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers Europe International Basketball Tournament is Lt. j.g. Craig Johnson of Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team San Francisco.

Johnson continued to pursue opportunities to play basketball after commissioning. While stationed on the Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin, he was selected as part of the All-Navy team and then the all-military team at SHAPE last year.

That led to him returning to this year’s team.
