Capitals split pair
with Volcanoes
By JOSHUA MANES

The Salem Capitals split a home-and-
home back-to-back with the Vancouver
Volcanoes on Friday and Saturday.
Friday night, at the Salem Armory
Auditorium, the Capitals came back from
a 15-point deficit in the second quarter,
down 12 at halftime, to win 115-99.
The Capitals cut into the Volcanoes’
lead in the third, cutting it down to four
at 78-74 to start the fourth quarter.
They opened the fourth with a 10-0
run to take a six-point lead, and led by as
much as 24 after a 26-10 spree.
Vincent Boumann led the way for
Salem with 21 points and 15 rebounds.
Jason Smarr had 17 points, going 5-for-9
on 3-pointers.
The Volcanoes on the other hand
were cold from beyond the arc, shooting
just 27% as a team.
That changed on Saturday.
Vancouver led wire to wire at home
in the O’Connell Sports Complex, going
12-for-26 on 3-pointers this time.
Markus Golder hit the Volcanoes’
first shot attempt, a 3-pointer, and they
never looked back. The lead ballooned
up to 16 in the third.
The closest the Capitals could get was
49-48 after trimming down a 10-point
deficit in the second quarter.
Jaylyn Richardson dropped 33 points
for the Volcanoes on 6-for-8 shooting
from three, and added 10 rebounds.
Richardson had been ice cold Friday,
shooting just 1-for-14 from the field for 3
points, but made up for it Saturday with
a blazing performance on the offensive
side.
At the other end, Vancouver man-
aged to contain Boumann. They held
the Capitals big man to just 9 points
on 4-for-11 shooting and 8 rebounds.
Boumann averages more than 22 points
and almost 11 rebounds a game this
season.
The Capitals are now 12-4 after losing
three of the last four games and drop
to second in the West behind the 13-3
California Sea-Kings.
They’ll be at home this week for
matchups with the Socal Moguls on
Saturday, May 7, and another game with
the Volcanoes on Sunday, May 8.
