SEATTLE (Jan. 11) -- Kelley Berglund (Sr., 6-3, Port Angeles, Wa./ Washington State) recorded a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double to lead the Seattle Pacific University women's basketball team past Saint Martin's 90-49 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game Saturday night at Brougham Pavilion. The Falcons are currently ranked No. 2 in the NCAA Division II national poll and first in the West Region.

With tonight's victory over the Saints (1-2, 5-7), the Falcons (13-0, 4-0) established a new program record for the best start, previously held by the 1997-98 team that reached the Elite Eight. Seattle Pacific also extended its program-record home winning streak to 26 games.

Additionally, the Falcons continued their dominance of the Saints, winning their 16th straight game dating back to 1991.

Seattle Pacific never trailed Saint Martin's in the contest and had the game all but wrapped up by midway through the first half of play. The Falcons jumped out to a 33-9 start at the 6:40 mark in the first half and extended their lead to a game-high 41 points by the end of the contest.

Carli Smith (Fr., 5-11, Spokane, Wa./Valley Christian) notched her second double-double in as many nights with 11 points and 10 rebounds. She also added a career-high four steals. Kerie Hughes (Sr., 5-6, Mount Vernon, Wa./Mount Vernon) and Stephanie Urrutia (Sr., 5-9, Sunnyside, Wa./Sunnyside) recorded 14 and 13 points, respectively.

Brittney Croon rounded out the Falcons in double-figures with a career- best 10 points and added seven rebounds. She finished 5-for-10 from the floor and blocked four shots. Mandy Wood (Fr., 5-6, Port Angeles, Wa./Port Angeles) forced a team-high five steals.

The Falcons out-rebounded the Saints 57-to-33 and converted more than half their shot attempts for the second time in three nights at 52 percent.

Seattle Pacific has a weeklong vacation before playing again next Saturday, Jan. 18 at Central Washington.
