Corban Men’s Basketball Named Team of the Week
LA GRANDE, Ore. – The Corban University men’s basketball team has been named the “Team of the Week” for January 2-8, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
On Friday The Warriors hosted The Evergreen State College and came away with a hard fought 84-70 win after outscoring the visiting Geoducks by 17 points in the second half. AJ Monterossi joined to 1000-point club on the evening and the Warriors shot 45% from the floor in the victory.
On Saturday No. 13 Northwest University fell victim to some stingy defense by Corban. The Eagles were held to 32.4% shooting on the night in what would end up being a 78-55 Warrior victory. Monterossi netted 14 points while Joel Johnson recorded a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Corban (11-7, 4-4 CCC) will make the short trip up I-5 from Salem next Friday and Saturday as they travel to Multnomah and Warner Pacific.
