SEATTLE (Feb. 4) With near-perfect
shooting, Robbie Will scored a career-high 22 points and Dustin
Bremerman had 20, including five three-pointers, as 5th-ranked
Seattle Pacific University beat Western Oregon, 94-79, Saturday at
Brougham Pavilion.
Tony Binetti (Sr., 6-1, Enumclaw, Wa.) also had
18 for the Falcons (10-1, 18-2), who won their 11 straight at home
and fourth in a row overall. They took over sole possession of
first place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and matched
the best 20-game start.
Will (So., 6-10, Seattle, Wa./O'Dea) hit 8 of 9
field goals, all within 8 feet of the hoop, and figured in a key
second-half run. He whirled for two jump hooks and had five points
as SPU put together a 15-2 burst. A Binetti steal and feed to
Jared Moultrie (Jr., 6-2, West Point, Ut.) capped the run for a
67-52 advantage.
Seattle Pacific had assists on 25 of 33 baskets
and shot 60 percent (33-55) from the floor. Binetti and Bremerman
each had six assists.
The Falcons' lead eventually grew to 20 with
6:47 left on Bremerman's third trey of the period. He finished 5-9
behind the arc.
J.T. Mitchell topped Western Oregon (2-9, 7-13)
with 17 points10 coming in the first half. Stanley Ratcliff
pulled down 111 rebounds and Mitchell nine as the Wolves grabbed
18 off the offensive glass and claimed an overall edge of 38-24.
Seattle Pacific led from the outset, twice
taking 12-point leads in the opening period, but WOU kept creeping
back. The Wolves shot 52 percent in the first half but cooled to
40 percent in the second. It was their ninth loss in 10 games.
Will also blocked four shots and had seven
rebounds.
The only other Falcon team to win 18 of their
first 20 was in 2001-02. They have won 22 of their last 23 at
home.
SPU goes to Alaska this week, beginning
Thursday night in Fairbanks.
