SEATTLE (Nov. 15) -- Yusef Aziz scored 19 of his 34 points in the second half and added 11 rebounds as Seattle Pacific University completed preseason play with a 117-96 exhibition men's basketball win over The Son's Blue Angels Friday night in Brougham Pavilion.

Redshirt freshman Jeff Knudson (6-7, Mukilteo, Wa./Kamiak) came off the bench for five three-pointers and 20 points and Maurice Cato (Sr., 6-0, Fairfield, Ca.) had 17 points and seven assists for the Falcons, who shot 54 percent from the field.

Seattle Pacific begins the regular season next Friday when it hosts Minnesota-Duluth in the first round of the Vitamilk Tip-Off Classic.

Aziz (Sr., 6-4, Seattle, Wa./Foster) powered his way to the hoop for 15 first-half points but the Falcons' 11-point lead was largely due to work on the offensive boards. Aziz, Jason Chivers (So., 6-8, Palmdale, Ca.) and Jesse Keely (Sr., 6-7, Firecrest, Wa./Bellarmine) combined for 16 second-chance points. The Blue Angels got no closer than nine in the second half.

Chivers collected 11 boards and had 10 points in 17 minutes, his second double-double in as many games. Keely had 12 points and seven rebounds. Aziz made 14 of 25 field goals and added four steals. Knudson was 5-9 from outside the arc. Ryan Hanson paced the Blue Angels with 27 points, 18 coming off treys. Former Husky Chris Walcott had 22 points and Donte Quinine, star of the Falcons' 2000 Final Four team, had 17.
