SPU Men's Streak Stopped at 6 by Chaminade
January 6, 2001

HONOLULU (Jan. 6) -- Despite a career-high 30 points from forward John Hubbard, No. 15 Seattle Pacific University saw its six-game win streak snapped by Chaminade, 103-96 Saturday night in a Pacific West Conference game.

The Silverswords' C.J. Cowgill scored 23 of his 39 points in the second half to thwart a comeback by the Falcons (1-2, 8-3), who trailed by 15 points at halftime.

Seattle Pacific gave up more than 100 points for the first time in 28 games, with Chaminade (1-1, 7-5) shooting 56 percent from the field while taking 48 trips to the foul line, making 40. Cowgill, a 6-1 senior, made 19 of his 21 free throws, including 14-15 in the second half.

Hubbard (Sr., 6-5, Inglewood, Ca.), who played just 14 minutes after intermission and 26 altogether due to foul trouble, led a barrage of eight SPU 3-pointers in the second period as the Falcons battled back. He was one of four players who fouled out.

Eric Sandrin (Jr., 6-10, Bothell, Wa./Shorecrest), Abe Fox (Jr., 6-8, Port Townsend, Wa.) and Darrell Walker (Sr., 6-0, Marysville, Wa.) also picked up five personals. Sandrin scored 17 points in his 20 minutes.

Brannon Stone (Jr., 6-9, Oak Harbor, Wa.), who had four fouls, finished with 21 points, six rebounds and four steals.

Drew Robinson contributed 16 points and eight boards for Chaminade, which has won seven of its last eight since dropping its first three outings to Division I teams at the Maui Invitational. The Silverswords out-rebounded SPU 37-32. In the first 20 minutes SPU, which leads the PacWest in field-goal percentage, shooting 54 percent as a team, was just 10-30 from the field and trailed 44-29 at the break.

The Falcons, who had not lost since Nov. 30, return home to host Seattle University in a conference game Thursday night at 7:30.
