SALEM, Ore. - Reggie Guyton led five Knights in double figure scoring as 9th ranked Warner Pacific rolled past Corban 87-61 tonight in Salem. Warner Pacific extends its winning streak to eight games and improves to 13-3 overall and a conference-leading 5-1 in league competition.

Guyton dropped in 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting from the field that included a 4-for-7 performance from three-point range. Four other Knights – Webster Moreland, Stephen Harris, Kaylone Riley, and Jake Glisson – added 16, 14, 10, and 10 points respectively, while Glisson pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to go along with Riley's game-high five blocks.

In the opening half, Corban scored the first five points and led by one point (9-8) following a Bryan Martin lay-in with 15:15 showing on the clock. That would be the last time that the host Warriors would hold the lead, as Warner Pacific used a half-closing 43-19 run en route to grabbing a 23-point advantage (51-28) at intermission thanks to a Marcel Smith three-pointer for the final points of the opening twenty minutes.

The second half was more of an even game, as Corban would pull to within 17 points (60-43) after a pair of Nash Keene free throws with just under 14 minutes left in the game. After sitting the Knights' starters for the remainder of the game, Warner Pacific's reserves would push its lead to as much as 27 points (87-60) thanks to a Stephen Harris three-pointer with just over one minute remaining.

As a team, Corban shot 21-for-54 (38.9%) from the field to go along with a 3-for-14 (21.4%) showing from three-point range and a 16-for-26 (61.5%) performance at the free throw line. On the other hand, Warner Pacific was 33-for-69 (47.8%) from the field that included a 20-for-39 (51.3%) performance in the first half en route to securing its large halftime advantage. The visiting Knights were also 10-for-24 (41.7%) from long distance and 11-for-20 (55.0%) at the charity stripe.
