Janelle Weiss
Box Score PORTLAND, Ore.--Warner Pacific held Concordia to 37.3 percent shooting en route to a 75-62 road win inside the Cavalier Gymnasium on Saturday night.

The result snapped a five game slide by the Knights and with the win, Warner Pacific improved to 6-15 on the season and 2-8 in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. Concordia fell to 4-18 overall and 1-9 in league games.

Trailing 32-31 at halftime, WP scored the first six points of the second half and did not trail again. Kelly Huey drained a three pointer for the host Cavaliers to draw CU within a single point at the 13:57 mark, but the Knights responded with back-to-back scores from Jessica Thoens. Later, Courtney Walchli scored six consecutive points as part of a 10-0 run to stretch the Warner Pacific lead out to 65-48; the largest of the contest.

Concordia rallied to reduce the gap to nine points on another Huey trey, but it was too little, too late. Jordan Wilcox made 4 of 4 tries from the free throw line to keep the Cavs at bay and help secure the victory.  

WPC's Janelle Weiss led all scorers with 17 points on 7 of 11 shooting. Wilcox added 13 points, while Walchli contributed eight points and five rebounds.

Concordia saw a strong night from senior Caitlyn McCutcheon, who had 12 points and nine boards. Huey, meanwhile, recorded a team-high 13 points and game-high seven assists.

COMING UP: Warner Pacific will remain on the road, travelling to LaGrande to face Eastern Oregon on Friday, January 31.
