The two teams combined for an SPU scoring record of 233 points and the Division II Falcons' (10-2) total tied their third-highest all-time.
Puget Sound had six players in double figures, including all five starters. Aubrey Shelton, Chase Curtiss, and Josh Walker each contributed 15 points to the cause. Posts Zack McVey (11) and forward Chris O'Donnell (13) rounded out the scoring leaders for the Loggers.
Falcon Ralph Steele came of the bench for 17 second-half points and Jordan Lee poured in a total of 26 to spur Seattle Pacific University to its eighth win in a row.
Steele sank all 11 of his free throws and Seattle Pacific staved off any Logger rally by hitting 28 of 32 at the line, including 15-17 in the final six minutes. SPU shot 62 percent from the field and scored 68 points in the final 20 minutes, pulling away from a halftime tie.
At halftime the two teams were locked at 54. Puget Sound's press troubled the Falcons early and enabled the Loggers to mount an early nine-point lead. Two quick steals were converted into layups by Zack McVey and Cross with an 11-second span for a 32-23 advantage, their largest lead of the game.
Puget Sound concludes the non-conference portion of their schedule and begins defense of their Northwest Conference title January 7th against Pacific University.
