PORTLAND, Ore. - Warner Pacific snapped a five game losing streak, stopping Corban 96-85 tonight at Bart Valentine Court.

The Knights were able to convert their field goal attempts at a 48 percent rate versus the Warrior defense - a much improved effort compared to recent games. Corban connected on 31 of their 78 shot attempts which was the same number of makes as WPC, but made 12 of 17 free throws compared to 23 of 26 for the Knights.

The first half looked to be a repeat of recent games for Warner Pacific, as the Knights had difficulty scoring while Corban was able to find clear looks at the rim. The visitors led by as many as seven points (23-16) and held a small lead through much of the period. A 9-2 run by WPC closed the gap, and the teams settled for a 43-43 tie score at the break.

Keaton Bankofier canned a trey to open the second half for WP and the Knights would not trail again. Back-to-back three pointers from De'Corrius Sampson Young opened the gap to 11 points (61-50) with 13:12 to play, and the Knight lead hovered around 10 points for the most of the rest of the game.

Corban did manage to cut the margin to six points after two free throws from Jeremiah Harris, but a layup from Bankofier and another trey from Sampson-Young secured the win for Warner Pacific.

Caleb Herzberg was the top scorer for Corban, making five three pointers on the way to 18 points. 

Sampson-Young led all players with 23 points for the Knights, while Collin Malcolm added 18 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocked shots.
