SALEM, Ore. – Four Warriors scored in double figures, as Corban's men's basketball team tallied a season-high point total in a 105-69 win over Capital City Classic-host Willamette to finish third Saturday inside the Cone Field House.

The visiting Warriors would finish third at the annual Capital City Classic, as senior Erik Cronrath and sophomore Jordan Carter scored a team-high 21 points each on a combined 15-for-23 shooting from the field. Senior Jake Mauermann and junior Jacob Kopra provided 17 and 12 points respectively off the Warriors' bench to go along with a seven-point, seven-rebound performance from senior James Green. Three Warriors – Carter, Cronrath, and junior Dustin Moore – handed out a game-high tying four assists, while Cronrath registered game-highs of two blocked shots and a pair of steals.

After tying the game at 3-3 on a three-pointer by Moore, Corban used a 35-7 run over a span of 10-plus minutes en route to grabbing a 28-point lead (38-10) on another Moore three-pointer with just over eight minutes left. The visiting Warriors would continue to hold a 20-plus point advantage, as Corban settled for a 25-point lead (57-32) at halftime.

In the second half, Corban quickly built its lead to over 30 points (77-45) on a free throw by Carter with 13:39 on the clock. Willamette could not get any closer than 25 points, as the Warriors concluded the game with a 36-point victory (105-69) for their largest win of the season so far.

Willamette was led offensively by Taylor Mounts with a game-high 23 points, while Josephy Jackson was the only other Bearcat in double figures with 11 points off the bench. On the boards, Mounts grabbed a team-high six rebounds to go along with three assists by Alex Hansen.
