NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. --  The Tyndall Tigers men's varsity basketball team split their two road games versus the Naval Station Mayport Hurricanes in Southeastern Military Athletic Conference regular season action Nov. 10 and 11.

After a time out the Tigers regrouped and outscored the Hurricanes 45-20, behind Anthony Showers and Jared Austin, who scored 17 and 15 points respectively, to take a 54-40 lead into the intermission.

In the second half, the Tigers, behind Ryan Cunningham's 16 points maintained a double-digit lead throughout and coasted to the victory; Tyndall, 107, Mayport, 84.

Saturday's game saw the two teams reverse roles as Mayport fell behind early, but came storming back to take a 46-30 lead at the half. In the second stanza, the Tigers cut the Hurricanes lead to eight points, before they suffered through a five-minute scoring drought that enabled Mayport to extend their lead and cruise to the victory; Mayport, 91, Tyndall, 67.
