Pacific 96, Lewis and Clark 65

FOREST GROVE, Ore. — After being blown out by 35 points the night before, Pacific returned home and scored a 31-point blowout of their own over Lewis & Clark, 96-65, in Northwest Conference men's basketball action at the Pacific Athletic Center.

The Boxers (9-14, 3-11 NWC) put on a shooting clinic, connecting on 61 percent from the field (38-62), including a 68 percent effort in the second half, and 58 percent from three-point range (10-17). Four Pacific starters scored in double figures, led by Mison Henley's (Sr., Kent, Wash.) 21 points and all but two players on the active roster scored.

Ross Bartlett finished with 16 points and Ryan Turcott and Branden Kawazoe each scored 15.

Lewis & Clark (9-13, 5-9 NWC) only managed 29 percent shooting (20-69) from the field and went 6 of 41 from three-point range, five attempts off of the Pioneers' single game record. Ryan Wells was the only L&C player in double figures, hitting for 15.

Except for a short 3-2 deficit in the first two minutes, Pacific controlled the tempo throughout the contest. Bartlett doubled up L&C at 14-7 with his jumper at the 11:47 mark and Kawazoe's jumper at 10:04 gave the Boxers their first double digit lead of the night at 17-7. Henley extended the lead to 16 points with his third three-pointer of the stanza with 2:40 left as the Boxers went into halftime with a comfortable 41-26 lead.

The Pioneers reduced the lead to 10 on Wells' three-pointer at the 19:03 mark before Henley sparked a 14-2 run over the next six minute for a 57-35 lead. The Pioneers tired to catch-up with the three-pointer, but instead died by it by going 3 of 28 in the second half. Kyle Motta made it a 30-point advantage with his lay-up with 9:23 to go and Ryan Eoff gave the Boxers their biggest lead of 39, 90-51, with 4:48 to play.

Pacific will finish their season with a pair of home games next weekend, hosting Whitman on Friday and Whitworth on Saturday. The Pioneers will host Linfield on Friday before finishing the season on the road at Pacific Lutheran on Saturday.
