In the season 2013/2014 basketball players of the Maritime University of Szczecin won the men's basketball league in the West Pomeranian region.
The team found the hardest challenge on their way to victory in players of the University of Szczecin who won by one point in the first round. The away game with Koszalin University of Technology also proved to be rather difficult.
On 24 March 2014 two varsities - US and MUS - encountered in the basketball court in the second round of the competition for the regional leader’s title. The teams’ initial concentration might have pressurised the players to some extent which had an affect on the game. The pressure was only released after the second quarter, when MUS players achieved 20-point advantage over their rivals and managed to maintain it almost till the end of the game. The final result of 79-60 brought the Champion title to the Maritime University of Szczecin.
This was a historic moment because for the first time in 30-year history of Szczecin varsity league MUS won the first position.
After the season is finished, the winning team intends to start heavy work with the view of the semi-finals of Polish Varsity Championships. Statistics-wise, MUS team has already managed to rank within first 64 of over 300 university teams in Poland. They aim to climb up to the top of the Championships.
