SEATTLE (Nov. 17) -- Yusef Aziz scored 17 points and pulled down nine rebounds as 16th-ranked Seattle Pacific University notched its first victory of the season, 87-59 over Lock Haven (Pa.) in the final game of the Vitamilk tip-Off Classic Saturday night at Brougham Pavilion.

Eric Sandrin (Sr., 6-10, Bothell, Wa./Shorecrest) ) added 15 points and both Gene Woodard (Jr., 6-4, Edmonds, Wa./O'Dea) and Daniel Sandrin (Jr., 6-7, Bothell, Wa./Bothell) came off the bench for 14 apiece for the Falcons (1-1), who forged a 10-point lead by midway through the first half and gradually widened the gap. They hit 59 percent from the field in the first period and 49 percent (33-68) overall.

Kirs Holtzer led the Bald Eagles (0-2) with 15. Lock Haven committed 28 turnovers and lost the battle of the boards, 37-26.

Nick Johnson (Sr., 6-3, Burlington, Wa./Burlington-Edison) and Aziz (Jr., 6-4, Seattle, Wa./Foster-Highline CC) were named to the all-tournament team along with David Logan and Cedric Moodie of Indianapolis and Northwest Nazarene's Kevin Richard. Indianapolis, which upset SPU, 68-67, Friday night, defeated Northwest Nazarene 65-58 to win Saturday's first game.

Johnson cut through the lane for two layups during an 8-2 spurt late in the first half after which Seattle Pacific led 35-18. Aziz, who made 8-10 shots, scored nine in the first half and then helped put Lock Haven away, scoring three consecutive inside baskets to push SPU in front, 72-42, with 10:54 left.
