Jackson's Career Night Sends WPC Past Eagles

PORTLAND, Ore. – Daesha Jackson scored a career high 26 points to send Warner Pacific past Northwest tonight, 73-61 in Cascade Conference women's basketball action.
 
The Basics

• Score: Warner Pacific 73, Northwest 61 
• Records: WPC (6-1, 2-0 CCC), NU (4-6, 1-1 CCC)
• Location: Bart Valentine Court, Portland, Ore.
• The Short Story: Warner Pacific received a career best scoring effort from Daesha Jackson, and the Knights shot 47% from the floor on the way to a CCC victory over Northwest. Jackson hit 9 of 18 attempts, including 5 of 8 from the three point line during the offensive display. The visiting Eagles were not out of the game until late, but 35% shooting (24 of 67) was not good enough versus a hot WP team. Jordan Asher kept the visitors close with 14 points and six assists.

How it Happened
.
• The first quarter was a close contest, with NU leading 19-18 after the 10 minutes of play. Taylor Howlett scored eight points for WP in the period, but consecutive baskets in the final minute from Miranda Langenhorst gave Northwest the slim lead.
• One of Jackson's five makes from behind the arc gave WPC a 23-21 lead at the 6:56 mark of the second quarter and the Knights would not trail again.
• Kendra Preuninger drained a three pointer inside the final five seconds of the first half, and WP went to the locker room with a 37-31 lead.
• The teams traded baskets through much of the 3rd quarter, but Jackson tossed in eight more points, and Lindsay Loe converted inside to give the Knights a 57-50 lead going into the final period.
• Warner Pacific scored eight unanswered points to start the 4th quarter and take command of the game.
• Hannah Carlson finally cashed in for NU to stop the run, but the Knights reeled off seven more to build their largest lead of the night (73-53).
• NU finished the game on an 8-0 run but it was too late for any comeback.
