PORTLAND, Ore.—Four Beacons scored in double figures as Northwest Christian handed Concordia an 81-74 loss inside the Cavalier Gymnasium on Tuesday night.

In a near elimination game for a spot in the CCC tournament for the Beacons, Northwest Christian (4-13, 8-18 CCC) jumped out to a 19-10 lead behind apair of 3-pointers by Chandler Gabrio.

Concordia (7-21, 4-12 CCC) erased most of the deficit over the middle portion of the first half, pulling to within one, 23-22, off a layup from Briannah Smith (San Francisco, Calif./Sacred Heart Cathedral).

Concordia managed to take its first lead of the game at 33-32 on free throws by Kelly Huey (San Francisco, Calif./Lincoln H.S.) with 1:55 remaining, but the Beacons maintained their composure by holding the home team without a point the rest of the way to hold a 36-33 lead at the break following a last-possession layup by Melyssa Weber.

After the break, Concordia regained the lead (39-28) off a free throw by Smith, but with both teams trading baskets, neither side could create separation through the early minutes of the second half.

Holding a three-point lead with 6:41 remaining, the Beacons finally generated a surge on the offensive end, eventually building their lead to 11 on Chantell Stanton free throws with 1:14 to play.

Coming off the bench, Gabrio led NCU with 17 points and added five rebounds. Overall, NCU's bench outscored CU's reserves 56 to 11 as Weber 16 points and 11 rebounds and Allie Kelsey another 10 points for the NCU non-starters.

Caitlyn McCutcheon (Portland, Ore./St. Mary's Academy) scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds in the loss. Kelly Huey (San Francisco, Calif./Lincoln H.S.) also contributed 19 points and seven assists for the Cavs.

Concordia will close out it regular season at home with matchups against Oregon Tech and Southern Oregon University on Feb. 21-22. Both games are set to start at 5:30 p.m.

Northwest Christian, meanwhile, is set to play its final game of the regular season on the road at Corban University on Feb. 22.
