ARCATA, CALIF. (Feb. 21) -- A pair of double-doubles from Kristin Poe and Kelley Berglund sparked the 11th- ranked Seattle Pacific University women's basketball team in a 81-69 victory over Humboldt State in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game Thursday night in Arcata, Calif.

The Falcons (12-4, 20-5), winners of six of their last seven games, put together a 20-11 run at the beginning of the second half to build what would be an insurmountable deficit for the Jacks (5-10, 7-16). Tonight's victory marked the third straight 20-win season and the fifth in the last six seasons for the Falcons. The Falcons play Western Oregon in Monmouth, Ore., on Saturday night.

SPU trailed Humboldt by as many as eight points in the first half before taking over the lead for good at the 12:14 mark. The Jacks pulled to within eight of the Falcons with just over a minute remaining in the game before six straight free throws by Kerie Hughes (Jr., 5-6, Mt. Vernon, Wa./Mt. Vernon) sealed the victory.

The Falcons attempted 29 free throws, the fourth most this season, and converted 21 for a 76 percent from the charity stripe. SPU outrebounded HSU 45-35, including 20 offensive rebounds, the third most this season.

Berglund's (Jr., 6-3, Port Angeles, Wa./Washington State) 20-point, 11-rebound double-double marks her team-high seventh of the season, and her fourth in the last six games. Poe (So., 5-8, Enumclaw, Wa./Enumclaw) scored 10 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season. Hughes and Stephanie Urrutia (Jr., 5-9, Sunnyside, Wa./Sunnyside) also reached double-figures with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
