Box Score

SALEM, Ore. - Corban ran out to a 12 point halftime lead on their way to a 76-62 victory over Warner Pacific tonight at C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.

The Knights managed to shoot just 35 percent in the first half and were only slightly better in the second, finishing the game 21 for 55 from the field.

WP did rally in the early in the second period, cutting the Warrior lead down to a single point on two occasions. Chelsey Christensen scored eight straight points for the Knights to make the score 39-38 with 14:35 to play. Later, a pair of free throws by Christensen gave the Knights their only lead of the half (44-43) at the 11:55 mark.

Corban slowly pulled away from there however, helped by back-to-back three pointers from Megan Benedict and led by as many as 16 before settling for the 14 point win. 

Despite the loss, the Knights clinched at least a 4th place finish in the CCC standings and will host a first round playoff game at Bart Valentine Court.
