SALEM, Ore. – Warner Pacific survived a challenge from Corban University, 70-68 in Salem on Saturday night. The win gives the Knights the season sweep of the Warriors.

A very defensive first half saw neither team find any kind of offensive rhythm, and at the break it was all tied up at 25-25.

The second half was a different story, however, as both teams got the offense rolling, scoring on a much more consistent basis. Back and forth the teams went, and a three-pointer by Chris Martin with two minutes remaining put the Warriors up by one point, 62-61.

The Knights responded, however, regaining a 66-62 lead and never relinquished the advantage, holding on for the two-point road win.

Xavier Cannefax led the way with 26 points in the triumph for Warner Pacific, while Collin Malcolm totaled 22 points and 10 boards. As a team, the Knights shot 46.0% from the floor.
