OLYMPIA, Wash. – A 50-point second half thanks to 63.3% shooting from the field led the 10th-ranked Northwest Eagles past the Evergreen Geoducks, 86-53, in a Cascade Conference men’s basketball game on Saturday night at CRC Gymnasium in Olympia, Wash.
The Geoducks (1-26, 0-18 CCC) actually lead early on as Northwest (25-3, 15-3 CCC) trailed 15-3 with 12:23 left to play in the opening period. The Eagles soon got down to business, using an 18-2 run to pull ahead by four with 4:38 left on the clock and NU continued to open the gap, taking a 36-23 lead into the break.
In the second half, Northwest was hot from the field as the lead crept into the 20s early in the period. The Eagles largest lead came with 1:27 left to play as NU led by 37 but the Geoducks finished the second with the final two baskets of the year to fall 86-53 in Evergreen’s season finale.
