Warner Pacific worked the paint tonight, outscoring the Eagles 30-16. Warner Pacific's shooting 51% from the field, compared to Northwest University's 39%, created a formula that was very difficult to beat.

Northwest University head coach Ken Crawford remarked, "This was a frustrating game for the Lady Eagles. Warner Pacific plays an up-tempo, pressing style. We were able to handle it most of the game, but our inconsistency hurt us. Now we go to Multnomah University to play our last regular season game, and then it's off to the playoffs!"
