Knights Snap Losing Streak with Win Over Evergreen
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Warner Pacific snapped a 10-game losing streak Friday in an 74-68 overtime win versus the Evergreen State College.
The Knights took their first lead four minutes into the first half and held it until the 59 second mark of the second half when the Geoducks took a one point lead. The two teams then traded trips down the floor without converting a basket. On the next possession Danica Wilson put up a lay-up with .2 seconds remaining on the clock and was fouled. Wilson was awarded two free throws where she missed the first and made the second to send the game into overtime. There were three more ties in the overtime but the Geoducks never led again.
Wilson led all scorers with 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. Lindsey Wells played all 45 minutes and had 18 points and 6 assists for the Knights. Bethany Baumann added 9 points and 10 rebounds.
Evergreen was led by the 20 points of Kristi Auckland. Claiming the only double-double of the evening was Jennifer Solberg who had 14 points and 13 boards.
Warner Pacific plays their last game of the season Saturday night as they host Northwest University on an evening when we recognize our seniors.
