Falcon Women Beat Northwest College to Remain Undefeated
December 13, 2003

KIRKLAND, Wa. (Dec. 13) -- The No. 10 Seattle Pacific women’s basketball team pushed its regular-season win streak to 41 games with a 92-48 non-conference win over Northwest College on Saturday night in Kirkland. The Falcons (8-0) have won all 22 meetings between the teams.

SPU used a balanced scoring attack as five players were in double figures, led by Mandy Wood’s (So., 5-6, Port Angeles, Wa.) 16 points. Valerie Gustafson (Sr., 6-0, Olympia, Wa./Black Hills) had 13 points, Kristin Poe (Sr., 5-8, Enumclaw, Wa.) and Brittney Kroon (So., 6-4, Wasilla, Ak.) scored 12 apiece and Amy Taylor (Jr., 5-8, Shoreline, Wa./Shorewood-Oregon) added 10.

After leading by 12 at halftime (42-30), SPU started the second half on an 18-2 run to put the game out of reach. The Falcons held the Eagles (3-6) to 30 percent shooting for the game and allowed just 18 points in the second half.

SPU, which shot 52 percent from the field, also won the battle of the boards (44-32) as Kristin Poe pulled down a game-high nine rebounds.

Jenny DeYoung, Kristin Boyd and Kelly Clarke each scored 10 points to lead Northwest.

The Falcons travel to Los Angeles next weekend to play in the CCAA/GNAC Challenge. SPU plays Cal State L.A. on Friday (Dec. 19) then takes on Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday (Dec. 20).
