Parks Sets Record in Win Over Multnomah

Ryan Parks
Box Score PORTLAND, Ore. - Warner Pacific received a record setting performance from Ryan Parks during a 122-65 victory over Multnomah University tonight at Bart Valentine Court. The junior guard made 11 three point field goals for the game - a new program record.

The contest was played at a frenetic pace, a style that the visiting Lions prefer but was not to their advantage tonight. The Knights found open shots from inside and out, with Parks doing most of the damage on his way to a career high 33 points. 

Warner Pacific scored the first six points of the game and never trailed. Midway through the first half, Parks drained back to back treys to give WPC a 29-12 lead and the gap grew from there. Multnomah tried to stay in the game with long distance shooting, but could only manage 15% (4 of 26) from behind the arc in the period.

The second half was more of the same, as WP extended their 30 point half time advantage. The gap reached as many as 60 during a stretch where Multnomah struggled to find scoring opportunities and the Knights fired away at a 59.5% clip. Parks made eight of his total three pointers after the break, while Marcus Moore came off the bench and added three makes of his own from range.   

In addition to Parks' stellar night, Moore also finished with a career high 22 points. Michael Moreland soared to the rim for several dunks on the way to 16 points, while Garrett Strasburg grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds.

Robert West led Multnomah with 18 points on 7 of 13 shooting, while Kristoff Thande added 15 points.
