SEATTLE (Nov. 27) -- Paced by the 18 points and 14 rebounds of center Kelley Berglund, 20th-ranked Seattle Pacific University surpassed the century mark for the fourth game in a row, beating Northwest College 102-51 in a nonconference women's basketball game Tuesday night at Brougham Pavilion.

The Falcons (5-0), who matched their best start in four years, also got 13 points apiece from Stephanie Urrutia (Jr., 5-9, Sunnyside, Wa.) and Valerie Gustafson (So., 6-0, Olympia, Wa./Black Hills). Emily Faurholt (Fr., 5-11, Kennewick, Wa.) added 11. SPU has won 26 of its last 27 home games but does not return to Brougham until Jan. 3.

Nikki Hover led the Eagles (3-4) with 11 points. Northwest College committed 34 turnovers, shot just 28 percent and was out-rebounded by 21.

Kerie Hughes (Jr., 5-6, Mount Vernon, Wa./Mt. Vernon) passed for nine assists and had six steals for the Falcons, who came within one assist of the team record with 34.

Seattle Pacific broke a 20-all tie with a 23-6 run beginning midway through the first period. Michelle Beaumont scored six of the first 16 points by running out ahead of the break and making layups. The Falcons, shooting 50 percent, led 50-28 at intermission.
