Eagles Reach Century Mark for Fifth Time to Post 11th Win

MIchael Dupree scores two of his team high 22 points.
Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. - Northwest University hit the century mark for the fifth time this season and improved to 11-0 with a 100-79 Cascade Conference victory over Multnomah University tonight in the NU Pavilion. The Eagles are now 3-0 in CCC play.
 
The first half was tightly contested with NU busting out to a 13-2 lead before Multnomah could get going, but Trever Cooley's 3-pointer at the 10:40 mark would close the gap to 18-15. NU would then go on an 8-2 run to stretch their lead to 26-17 with 8:51 to go in the half, but back would come the Lions and John Viles jumper would close the gap to 28-26 with 5:46 left in the half. Two free throws by Tre' Benton would give the Eagles a 42-35 lead at the half.
 
In the second half, 2 for 8 shooting by the Lions would help the Eagles increase their lead to 17 points, 60-43, after Ben Tucakovic would drain a trey with 15:12 left in the game. The closest MU would get the remainder of the half would be 12 as NU would slowly pull away and Paul Loranger's dunk at the 7:29 mark would give Northwest U a 29 point, 81-52 lead as they would close out the game for their 11th win of the season without a defeat.
 
Six Eagles scored in double figures led by Michael Dupree's 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Dupree did not have a turnover tonight as well. Paul Loranger scored 16 points on 7-7 shooting; Ben Tucakovic and Justice Martion each scored 13; Dak Shagren 11 points; and Tre' Benton 10 points. NU heated up in the second half after a 40 per cent first half, the Eagles shot 57 per cent in the second half including 42 per cent from beyond the 3-point line. NU also dominated the rebounding with a 54-37 margin.
 
Ben Grandle led Multnomah (3-9, 0-3 CCC) with a team high 18 points. Thomas Simien scored 15 points and pulled down 9 rebounds for the Lions who shot 38 per cent, 25 per cent from the 3-point line. Jon Viles added 12 points.
 
"I'm really pleased with our balanced scoring and having six of our guys score in double figures indicates we're really playing team ball. 17 assists tonight and 29 last night speaks to our guys sharing the ball, looking for their teammates and building trust amongst themselves. We're also happy for Paul Loranger who played one of his best games for us tonight."
