DEC. 31, 2011 — Last night, in the final second of the Cable Car Classic’s championship game, with the score tied at 62 all, Wagner College’s Kenny Ortiz grabbed a missed 14-foot shot by Tyler Murray and tossed it up from behind the basket as the buzzer sounded. After conferring at halfcourt, officials upheld Ortiz’s basket, giving the Seahawks their first tournament championship since 1997. The Seahawks beat Santa Clara University, hosts of Northern California's Cable Car Classic, 64-62.
