September 10, 2003

NEWCASTLE, Australia (Sept. 10) - Jordan Lee poured in 31 points and Jason Chivers added 22 plus 18 rebounds as the Seattle Pacific University men's basketball team coasted to a 108-53 exhibition win over the Newcastle Hunters Wednesday night at the Broadmeadows Basketball Stadium.

Lee (Jr., 6-2, University Place, Wa.) excelled in the running game and hitting from the outside while Chivers (Jr., 6-8, Palmdale, Ca.) powered inside. Jeff Knudson (So., 6-7, Mukilteo, Wa./Kamiak) had 16 points for SPU, which led 49-25 at halftime and is now 1-1 on its five-game tour.

Seattle Pacific coach Jeff Hironaka said his team shot the ball extremely well and exploited the Hunters in transition. Newcastle is a member of the Australian Basketball Association's Waratah League, essentially a second division professional circuit.

The Falcons next face the Grafton Vikings Thursday night.
