KIRKLAND, Wash. – The electrician in Kirkland, Wash. may want to check on the lights in the Kristi Brodin Pavilion, as the Northwest University Eagles shot the lights out on Saturday night. The Corban University men's basketball team simply was unable to match the unbelievable performance by the Eagle shooters. Northwest rode an out-of-this-world 60.0% field-goal percentage on the way to dominating the Warriors, 103-83.
"It wasn't our night," said head coach Mitch Freeman. "Northwest was a little quicker and tougher than us over the 40 minutes on every rebound and 50/50 ball. We need to regroup and look at how we can get better."
Beau Roggenbach posted another double-double, posting 19 points and 10 rebounds. He led the team in scoring and rebounding in the contest. His 6-of-12 (50%) display from the floor was one of the more efficient scoring nights for the Navy and Gold.
Mauricio Smith's 17 points also came on 6-of-12 shooting, and he added the squad's second highest rebound total with four in the game. Smith was perfect from long-range, taking and making a total of three shots from past the arc.
Hussayn Ford's ridiculous 12-of-15 (80%) night in the post consisted of 26 points, while he also added a team-high 14 rebounds on his way to a double-double. Christian Hakilimali was also huge for the Eagles, as he shot 10-of-16, for a total of 22 points. Hakilimali drained two shots from three-point land on two attempts. Ryan Hicks and Dejwan Walker made five shots each on their way to 16-point performances. Four of their 10 combined made shots were three-pointers.
The Warriors (10-13, 4-9 CCC) lost the season series against the Eagles after their loss in Kirkland on Saturday night, and will have to get re-focused for a quick turn around when they head to Eugene for another conference matchup against the Beacons of Northwest Christian on Tuesday, January 28. The tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
