Big Third Quarter Lifts Eagles Over Warner Pacific

Jordan Asher led NU for the second straight night.
Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. – A 12-2 third quarter run by Northwest University helped lift the Eagles to a 91-71 Cascade Conference win over Warner Pacific in the final regular season games for both teams. It was also senior night for Northwest U as they honored three graduating seniors: Jordan Asher, Brianna Fiso and Kristen Frey.

Leading 43-33 with 7:30 to go in the third period, Northwest U would go on their run to push their lead to twenty, 55-35, to help put the game away. Two free throws by NU's Paige Burson at 4:01 in the third, would increase the Eagle lead to 62-37 and NU would have a 73-50 lead at the end of the quarter.
