Lae fly again. The Bank of Marshall Islands 17th Ralik Ratak Shootout declared both Lae teams tournament champions following back-to-back epic finales against top women's contenter AUR and a strong Kwajalein team from the men's division last Wednesday. Both Lae teams maintained an undefeated record throughout the event.
In the women's division, Lae held a 10-point lead before the buzzer went off, ending the game at 68-58. In the men's division, Lae, had its most difficult finals challenge ever with an aggressive Kwajalein team that pushed the title game to overtime before succumbing to Lae by a single point, 76-75. In total, thousands of basketball fans in Majuro, Ebeye and across the US, plus the superpacked Staff Sergeant Solomon Sam Sports Center at the College of Marshall Islands viewed the event as it unfolded.
