Surge Clinch Playoff Berth with Victory over Alliance

July 20, 2024 - Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) News Release

The Calgary Surge are headed back to the post-season.

A 90-80 home victory over the Montreal Alliance at the WinSport Event Centre on Friday secured the second-year club's spot in the playoffs.

The Surge improved to 10-7 and extended their winning streak to four games. After falling to the Scarborough Shooting Stars in last year's CEBL Finals, Calgary will attempt to do one better when Championship Weekend hits Montreal next month.

Meanwhile, the host Alliance are still trying to find their mojo, having now dropped nine of their past 10 games to fall to 4-14.
