Shagren Passes the 1,000 Point Mark in Eagle Victory

Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. - Northwest University withstood forty-two 3-point attempts by Multnomah as they held off the Lions for a 102-94 Cascade Conference victory to clinch a spot in CCC post season play. Junior Dak Shagren scored 21 points to lead NU and move passed the 1,000 career point mark to 1,016 points in his three seasons with the Eagles.
 
Multnomah hit 17 of 42 trey attempts for 41 percent shooting, but Northwest U was successful in 18-35 3-point attempts for 51 percent.
 
With Northwest U holding an 11 point lead, 33-22 at 8:53, the Eagles would outscore the Lions 21-12 to take a 54-34 lead with 1:04 remaining in the half. Dak Shagren driving lay-in with 8 seconds left on the clock would give Northwest U a 58-38 lead at halftime.
 
Tomas Ogbaslassie's 3-pointer with 15:43 to go in the game would give the Eagles their largest lead of the game, 76-54, but a Multnomah run would cut the NU lead to just five, 86-81 after Mikey Chown's trey with 6:21 to go.

Dak Shagren led four players in double figures for Northwest U (12-17, 8-11 CCC) with 21 points.

"We knew coming in we'd see a lot of 3-pointers shot tonight," said John Van Dyke, NU head coach. "Our guys weathered the storm and shot well from the 3-point line themselves. We're proud of Dak (Shagren) reaching the 1,000 career point mark. He's worked extremely hard to become the shooter he is and there's no bigger team guy than Dak."
 
Both teams continue CCC play tomorrow night with Multnomah traveling to play Evergreen in Olympia and Northwest U hosting Warner Pacific on senior night for the Eagles.
