Surfers Surge Past Fog 117-95 Behind Mortensen's Dominance

Mortensen's Monster Double-Double Fuels Surfers' Rout Over Fog

From Holosports News
Published January 24, 2026

SYDNEY – The Sydney Surfers delivered a commanding performance on their home court, defeating the San Francisco Fog 117-95 in a February 2026 season clash. A relentless offensive surge in the second half, anchored by an exceptional outing from Rafe Mortensen, proved too much for the Fog to overcome, solidifying the Surfers’ position in the standings.

The game remained tight through the first quarter, with both teams exchanging blows. San Francisco’s Chen Wei kept his team within striking distance, while Sydney struggled to find consistent offensive rhythm. However, the tide began to turn late in the second quarter. Brennan Cole ignited the Surfers’ offense with a pair of clutch three-pointers, and a key steal from Ada Rodriguez led to a fast-break opportunity, giving Sydney a slim lead heading into halftime.

The third quarter saw Sydney Surfers truly take control. Rafe Mortensen was a force in the paint, dominating the boards and converting crucial baskets. His relentless energy seemed to wear down the Fog defense, opening up opportunities for his teammates. By the end of the third, Sydney had built a substantial lead, punctuated by sharp ball movement that resulted in numerous open looks.

In the final frame, the Surfers maintained their offensive intensity, with Mortensen continuing his impressive double-double. San Francisco made a brief push, led by Chen Wei’s scoring, but Sydney’s consistent scoring and stifling defense, highlighted by solid rebounding from Kwame Mensah, sealed the victory.

“We just stuck to our game plan,” said Surfers Head Coach, Emily Carter. “Rafe was incredible tonight, but it was a total team effort. We moved the ball well and defended with purpose.” Mortensen added, “It feels good to get the win. We knew they were a tough team, but we executed when it mattered most.”

Key Notes:

  • Rafe Mortensen recorded a game-high 24 points and 16 rebounds for the Surfers.
  • The Surfers dished out 25 assists on 42 made field goals.
  • San Francisco struggled at the free-throw line, shooting just 51.7% (15/29).
  • Sydney’s bench contributed 34 points to the winning effort.
  • The Surfers held a significant rebounding advantage, 48-42.
