KIRKLAND – Northwest knocked off Linfield, 64-47, picking up a pair of milestones along the way.

Livi Lindsey had two steals and established a new career record with her 118th and 119th steal. Coach Ken Crawford picked up his 200th career win with the victory.

Lindsey entered the night tied at 117 steals with Dena Cambra and Katy Lockard but got a steal in the opening quarter to take the record for herself.

"Livi is part of a long line of good, quick guards here at Northwest," said Crawford. "She responds well to plays and where the ball is going. She has a motor that just keeps going."

Crawford added career win No. 200 just under a month after netting his 100th at Northwest. He had 95 wins as the head coach at Biola from 2005-11.

"As I said before, I've never made a basket or gotten a rebound," Crawford said. "I've been blessed with really great assistant coaches and players. It just means I've been around a long time."

"Coach Crawford is a great coach," said NU Director of Athletics Gary McIntosh. "Northwest is proud of what he has accomplished. Two hundred wins is an awesome achievement. Congrats, Coach; we are glad you are at NU."

The Eagles struggled early, shooting 29 percent in the first quarter as LU led by as many as six points and took a 16-11 advantage into the second quarter.

Northwest got its first lead at the 7:17 mark of the second quarter on a basket by Lindsey. The lead see-sawed a little after that, but the Eagles took a 28-26 edge into the lockers at halftime.

After falling behind by a point, Northwest went on a 9-0 run to build a 47-39 lead and closed the third quarter up 51-41. Four Eagles contributed points in that outburst.

The Eagles went on a 10-1 run to start the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach, getting points from five different players. The spree ended with NU leading 61-42. 

Grace Meza led NU with 15 points, followed by Sam VanLoo with 13 and Lindsey with 11. Maya DuChesne had six assists to go with six points. 

VanLoo brought down nine rebounds, and DuChesne led with three steals.

"That was a tough game," said Crawford. "We had to use some versatility tonight in that we had to move to a smaller, quicker lineup and make adjustments on defense. Coach Casey Bunn-Wilson always does a great job at LU. It might not have looked like it, but tonight was a quality win."

The Eagles improved to 7-2 on the season and play Pacific Lutheran at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
