SALEM, Ore. – The Corban University women's basketball team concluded its 2020-21 home slate on Thursday evening with a non-conference bout with NCAA Division III Linfield University. The Navy and Gold closed its time on Tim Hills Court with an impressive triumph, cruising past the Wildcats, 72-65. Halle Wright (18 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists) made history in the contest, becoming the first player in program history to record a triple-double.

"We had a lot of good things tonight," said head coach Bill Pilgeram. "I liked our mindset and energy, especially in the first half."

The Warriors never trailed in the contest, as the hometown squad jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.

Corban shot the lights out in the second quarter to really pull away, sinking 64.3% of its shots from the floor (60.0% 3PT) to outscore the Wildcats 24-11 in the second period and take a 16-point lead into the locker room. Though Linfield outscored the Navy and Gold in both the third and fourth stanzas, Corban was able to endure the comeback attempt to hold on for victory.

The Warriors capitalized on a significant size advantage under the rim, scoring 48 of their 72 points in the paint.

In her historic individual performance, Wright made her presence felt from the tip, scoring seven points and dishing out 10 assists in the first half alone. She collected 10 of her rebounds in the second half, all while notching her sixth-straight contest with a double-digit point tally. She is now averaging 16.4 points per game, which ranks second in the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC).

In addition to becoming the first Warrior to ever reach the triple-double plateau, Wright's 12 assists are tied in the record books for the third most in a single game.

"Halle seemed to do everything on the court and was such an amazing leader," Pilgeram raved.

Meanwhile, Holly Golenor put together an otherworldly performance of her own, finishing the night a perfect 7-for-7 from the floor en route to 15 points and six boards. A picture of consistency, she has now scored 15 points in each of her past four games, and is working on seven-consecutive games with at least 11 points and five rebounds.

Rookie Gemma LaVergne matched her season high with 14 points, sinking four of her eight shots from beyond the arc. Her and Shaelie Burgess (12 points, nine rebounds) rounded out the Warriors' double-figure scorers, as Burgess finished just one rebound shy of her third double-double of the campaign.

For Linfield, Delaney Ragan's 23 points off the bench served as the most of any performer on Thursday. Her, Shasta Lofgren (12 points) and Jordyn Feinhauer (11 points) all reached double-figures in the defeat.

Corban (5-4, 2-4 CCC) will finish its 2020-21 docket with four Cascade Collegiate Conference road contests next week. The squad will play Multnomah on Monday and Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in a pair of games rescheduled from earlier in the season, before concluding its season with a two-game series against Eastern Oregon University on April 23-24.
