Seawolf Basketball Highlights of the Last Basketball Games Played at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex February 22, 2014 Photography by John R. DeLapp The Last Basketball Games at Wells Fargo Sports Complex My wife Tina and I have been loyal followers of UAA sports and have admired the accomplishments of all the talented student-athletes on and off the court and rink for many years. I have also enjoyed occasionally taking pictures at the home games in the Wells Fargo Sports Complex from my seat in the bleachers. The men’s and women’s Senior Night double-header on February 22, 2014 were the last two basketball games to be played at the Sports Complex as the new area, the Alaska Airlines Center, will become the home for the Seawolves beginning in the fall of 2014. I decided to produce a mini-magazine to share some of the highlights of those last two games and the “send-off at the Farg”. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the memories of that exciting evening when two great basketball games were played and we witnessed a historic shooting performance by Kyle Fossman, as new UAA and GNAC records were established.

Seawolf Basketball 7 Men’s Senior Night at the Wells Fargo Sports Center For three players on the men’s basketball team this was their last home game. A ceremony to honor Teancum Stafford, Colton Lauwers, and Kyle Fossman was held prior to the game. The Seawolves ran away with a 96-77 win over Western Oregon which was a half game behind the fourth place Seawolves in conference play at the time. Kyle Fossman put on a shooting clinic making 12 three pointers out of 16 attempts in route to a career-high 40 point night. This performance set a new single-game record for three pointers for both UAA and the GNAC. By the end of this game, Fossman had made 247 three-pointers in his career at UAA, a new record. “Send-off” t-shirts were given to fans.
